• Domestically produced natural gas now prioritizes LPG, CNG, and piped cooking gas due to West Asia conflict disrupting imports.
• LPG added to the top priority list, joining CNG and piped cooking gas, ensuring 100% of their average past six-month consumption.
• Fertiliser sector is second priority (70% allocation), followed by tea industries, manufacturing, and other industrial consumers (80%).
• City gas distribution (CGD) entities for industrial/commercial consumers are fourth priority (80%), while refineries face 65% allocation.
