LPG crisis: Booking gap increased to stop hoarding
NewsBytes | March 11, 2026 9:39 PM CST
Restaurants, hospitals, households prioritized
Indane, which supplies over 150 million homes, couldn't handle the rush: phone lines jammed and booking systems overloaded.
In Bengaluru, long queues formed as supply reportedly dropped by half.
Many restaurants in Mumbai had to shut temporarily; hospitality businesses in other metros also reported disruptions.
The government is making sure households and hospitals get priority for gas.
Indane has boosted its system capacity and is asking people to book refills after 6pm (and note that requests made between 10pm and 6am are queued and processed after 6am the next day).
They also suggest using WhatsApp, IndianOil ONE app, or BBPS for smoother bookings, but many are still struggling due to heavy traffic.
