According to reports, following are the latest updates on the ongoing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) shortage in parts of India, as of Monday (13 April):

• Karnataka: Auto LPG supply in Bengaluru has gradually stabilised following earlier disruptions linked to the Middle East situation, with normal operations resuming at most filling stations. However, prices have surged sharply from around INR 65 per litre to nearly INR 120 per litre at several locations, impacting autorickshaw drivers despite reduced congestion at fuel stations.
• Maharashtra: In Pimpri-Chinchwad, domestic LPG cylinder distribution continues to face significant disruption, with delivery delays of 10 to 15 days reported despite regulations mandating delivery within 96 hours of booking, leading to widespread consumer dissatisfaction.
• Rajasthan: Domestic LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged, providing temporary relief for households, while commercial LPG cylinder prices have increased, affecting operational costs for hotels, restaurants and other businesses.
• Uttar Pradesh: Tighter controls on LPG distribution and ongoing delivery delays have influenced consumer behaviour, with many households shifting towards piped natural gas (PNG) connections where available. Persistent delays in doorstep delivery continue to be reported in several regions.
• Himachal Pradesh: Authorities in Shimla have clarified that LPG supply remains stable and urged residents to avoid panic booking. However, precautionary bulk bookings have disrupted distribution, causing delays and backlogs. Consumers have been advised to rely on scheduled home delivery instead of visiting agency counters.
• Delhi: Ongoing energy supply constraints linked to the Middle East crisis continue to impact LPG availability patterns, with authorities expanding piped natural gas (PNG) infrastructure to reduce dependence on LPG amid sustained pressure on supply systems
• Haryana: The state government has mandated a shift from LPG to piped natural gas (PNG) in areas where pipeline infrastructure is available, giving households and commercial users a three-month deadline to comply, failing which LPG connections may be discontinued. Authorities in districts such as Karnal, Ambala and Kurukshetra have begun implementation, including blocking LPG connections where PNG is already active and encouraging new applications through awareness drives. The move has led to a steady increase in PNG adoption, with authorities reporting a rise in domestic and commercial connections and ongoing expansion of pipeline infrastructure.
• Andhra Pradesh: Authorities have confirmed that LPG supply has stabilised across the state, with normalised booking patterns and no signs of panic buying. Around 70 percent of demand for commercial cylinders is currently being met, while priority supply is being ensured for critical sectors such as schools and hospitals. Daily refill bookings have stabilised at approximately 02 to 2.7 lakh, reflecting improved availability and streamlined distribution. However, elevated prices continue to impact consumers and businesses, with domestic LPG priced around INR 950 and commercial cylinders ranging between INR 2,042.50 and INR 2,200.
