LPG Booking Gap: 25 Days in Cities, 45 in Rural Areas, Says Puri in Parliament

• Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri announced new LPG booking gaps: 25 days for urban areas, 45 days for rural areas.
• Puri stated in Parliament that there is no overall cooking gas shortage, attributing supply issues to public panic booking.
• The minister claimed the existing rule of delivering gas within 2.5 days of booking remains unchanged.
• The supply strain is linked to the war between Iran, Israel, and America, impacting India's fuel supply.
• State-owned oil companies are instructed to supply commercial cylinders at 20% of normal production to address shortages.
