With restrictions placed on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies for both domestic and commercial consumers from Thursday night (March 5, 2026), the public has been advised to use the fuel in a wise manner.

An oil industry source said single bottle domestic consumers will be allowed to make fresh bookings only after 21 days from the date of last booking and those with double bottles can book only after 30 days. “Consumers can book only using their registered mobile numbers and delivery will be done only if the OTP is given. These are steps to ensure the fuel is used judiciously,” said a distributor.
