Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi today said that the Centre has asked the Oil Marketing Companies OMCs to uniformly implement the revised LPG refill booking interval of 25 days in both urban and rural areas immediately. In a social media post Mr Gopi said that in view of the current LPG supply situation improving and the significant reduction in refill backlog, the central government has relaxed this restriction. He said, now, all domestic LPG consumers, regardless of urban or rural, can book refills at an interval of 25 days. The Minister in his post also shared a copy of the letter issued by the Petroleum Ministry to the OMCs to immediately implement the change.
Due to the pressure on LPG supply in the wake of the Middle East conflict, the refill booking interval was 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas.
