The Centre has restored the access to commercial LPG supplies to pre-crisis levels, in view of the deadlock easing in the Strait of Hormuz following the preliminary peace pact between the United States and Iran.
Further, restrictions on Non-Domestic (Commercial) Packed LPG have been withdrawn, the government informed, adding that Bulk LPG supplies may be restored up to 50% of pre-crisis consumption.
However, for a long-term solution, the government has advised consumers with PNG connectivity to continue shift to PNG.

Only last month the government had informed that the country had limited crude oil reserves, and LNG stock left in its kitty, as a result of the massive energy disruption caused by the West Asia conflict.
The Iran war had taken the key maritime shipping lane, Strait of Hormuz, in a chokehold with little to no commercial vessels passing through.
Earlier today, reports indicated that the traffic on Hormuz has eased post Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding.
