Centre Govt Ramps Up Sale of 5-kg LPG Cylinders

Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas has said that about 6.6 lakh 5-kg LPG cylinders have been sold since March 23rd, 2026, after the government ramped up supplies to meet demand. 

Unlike the



subsidised domestic 14.2-kg cylinders, 5-kg cylinders are priced at market rates and do not require any address proof for procurement from a nearby LPG distributorship. 

The ministry said there are no reports of shortages at LPG distributor points, with more than 51 lakh domestic cylinders delivered on April 4 and online bookings accounting for 95 per cent of total demand.
