Average LPG cylinder refill times decline for Indian public sector firms

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Average LPG cylinder refill times at India's public sector oil marketing companies improved sharply in July 2026 after government and company interventions during the West Asia conflict.
The Minister of State for Petroleum & Natural Gas told the Rajya Sabha that average refill time fell from 4.33 days on June 1, 2026 to 2.15 days on July 27, 2026.
Refill times had risen from 3.79 days in March to 5.54 days in April because the conflict closed the Strait of Hormuz, through which most of India's imported LPG passed, severely constraining supplies.
Measures such as a 25-day urban and 45-day rural inter-refill gap, stock rationalisation, and FIFO-based clearing of pending bookings helped reduce delays, though refill times remain higher than the 1.57 and 1.32 days recorded in January and February 2026.
