Fuel And LPG Supply Stable In Telangana

Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) in Telangana have confirmed that the availability of petrol, diesel and LPG in the State is sufficient to meet current demand.

The OMCs have prioritised domestic LPG distribution, ensuring uninterrupted and timely delivery of cylinders. Currently, approximately 2.18 lakh domestic LPG cylinders are being delivered daily in Telangana, compared to the pre-war average of 2,15,151 cylinders per day, indicating a stable and robust supply system.

Demand for petrol and diesel has moderated and is now comparable to pre-war levels. LPG refill bookings have also declined significantly, as panic-driven bookings by consumers have reduced considerably.

According to the State-level Coordinator for the OMCs, public sector oil companies are closely monitoring the supply situation and have undertaken the necessary measures to streamline logistics and expedite deliveries. OMCs are in continuous coordination with the State government to address operational issues on a day-to-day basis and ensure the smooth and uninterrupted supply of petrol, diesel and LPG across Telangana.

Consumers are being encouraged to book LPG cylinders through SMS, missed calls and IVRS platforms, and to utilise the Delivery Authentication Code (DAC) to ensure delivery to the rightful beneficiary.

For migrant workers and students without local address proof, 5-kg free trade LPG cylinders are available through authorised distributors upon submission of valid identity proof and a self-declaration.

The Union and State governments are also promoting Piped Natural Gas (PNG) as a convenient, safe and efficient alternative cooking fuel. PNG services are currently available in Hyderabad, Medchal, Sangareddy, Choutuppal, Nalgonda, Warangal, Khammam, Shadnagar, Ramagundam and other selected towns. Efforts are underway to expand PNG connectivity to additional urban and semi-urban areas in the State.
