Government Calls Viral Claims Misleading

“It has come to the notice of the Government that certain news reports and social media posts are claiming revised LPG refill booking timelines—45 days for PMUY connections, 25 days for non-PMUY single bottle connections, and 35 days for non-PMUY double bottle connections,” the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said, clarifying that “no such changes have been made.”

The clarification comes amid reports suggesting differentiated waiting periods based on categories such as PMUY and non-PMUY consumers. Officials reiterated that such claims are incorrect and have no basis in current policy.

Citizens have been urged not to believe or circulate unverified information and to refrain from panic booking of LPG cylinders. The Government also assured that there is adequate availability of LPG stocks across the country. “It is reiterated that adequate LPG stocks are available in the country, and there is no cause for concern,” the Ministry said on Wednesday.
