Govt exploring options to secure more LPG supplies, says Suresh Gopi

Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi on Thursday said that efforts are underway to bring the LPG crisis under control and that avenues are opening for India to secure additional supply.

Speaking to reporters here, he said Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri had answered questions regarding the LPG crisis in Parliament on



Wednesday.

He said due to diplomatic sensitivities, some matters related to supply through the Hormuz Strait cannot be revealed.

“The Prime Minister has spoken to all countries regarding how the Hormuz Strait issue has affected lives and sought exemptions. I am not giving the exact data, but ways are opening for us to get more LPG,” Gopi said.
