Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, on Monday denied a possible move by state-run oil companies to supply 10 kg of LPG in 14.2-kg cylinders to households to stretch limited stocks, as domestic inventories fall and imports shrink amid the Iran war.The move aims to conserve LPG while maintaining supply to as many homes as possible, an executive told ET. A standard 14.2-kg cylinder lasts 35-40 days for an average household, according to companies’ estimates. A 10-kg refill could sustain a home for nearly a month, allowing available volumes to be shared more widely during the crunch.
