Government Forms Panel as Commercial LPG Shortage Hits Hotels and Restaurants Across India.

The Indian government has set up a special panel to address concerns over the shortage of commercial LPG cylinders, which has started affecting hotels, restaurants, and other businesses in the hospitality sector. Industry bodies such as the National Restaurant Association of India have warned that disruptions in commercial LPG supply could severely impact restaurant operations and even lead to large-scale closures if the situation continues. Many hotels and food outlets depend heavily on LPG cylinders for daily cooking operations. According to industry representatives, several distributors have reported difficulties in supplying commercial LPG cylinders, leading to delays and supply disruptions across multiple cities. The government has formed a panel to review the issue and ensure uninterrupted availability of LPG for commercial users. Officials are now working to assess supply logistics and resolve the bottlenecks quickly so that restaurants, hotels, and food businesses can continue operations without disruption.
