India has increased commercial LPG allocation to 70% of pre-crisis levels, up from 50%, to ease supply pressure on key sectors as disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict continue to affect energy flows and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The Centre has asked states to prioritise steel, automobile and labour-intensive industries, along with textiles, dyes, chemicals and plastics, especially where piped gas is not a viable substitute. The government has also asked states to ensure supply for restaurants, dhabas, hotels, industrial canteens, food processing and dairy units, and subsidised food outlets run by local bodies. The move is aimed at protecting industrial activity, supporting essential services and limiting the impact of fuel shortages on businesses and consumers.
