New Delhi, Apr 3: Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on Friday assured that LPG supply across the country remains stable and adequate despite concerns arising from the ongoing West Asia conflict.

The company urged consumers not to indulge in panic booking or hoarding, stressing that there is no shortage of LPG and advising people to rely only on official communication for accurate information.

IOC said it is currently delivering around 28 lakh LPG cylinders daily, maintaining normal supply levels and ensuring uninterrupted distribution to households nationwide.

“India’s LPG supply remains stable, adequate, and under close monitoring. Domestic LPG supply continues to be accorded the highest priority,” the company said in a statement.

It added that nearly 87 per cent of refill bookings are being made through digital platforms, while deliveries are authenticated using OTP-based Delivery Authentication Codes to ensure cylinders reach the intended customers.

Consumers have been encouraged to use digital modes such as SMS and IVRS for booking refills.

The company also said action has been taken against 141 LPG distributors for malpractices, including suspension of five distributors.
