Due to the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, there have been reports of a temporary LPG shortage in some parts of India. While the central government has assured citizens that domestic gas supplies are sufficient and that cooking gas is being prioritized, many consumers are still facing delivery delays after booking. To manage supply, the mandatory gap between two cylinder bookings has been increased from 21 days to 25 days.
If your cylinder is not delivered on time or if a dealer is demanding extra charges, you do not need to panic. Various gas companies have issued dedicated toll-free helpline numbers to address these grievances. Indane Gas customers can call 1800-2333-555 or 7718955555. Bharat Gas users can reach out to 1800-22-4344 or 7715012345, while HP Gas customers can file complaints at 1800-2333-555 or 9493602222.
In the meantime, the government suggests that consumers should not rush for panic bookings. If a delay persists, citizens can also explore alternative cooking methods such as induction stoves, electric rice cookers, or solar cookers. By contacting the official helpline numbers mentioned above, consumers can ensure their complaints are registered directly with the gas companies for a swift resolution.
