Petroleum Ministry doubles cylinder allocation for migrant workers in each State

The quota for commercial LPG for migrant workers has been increased from 180 to 360 cylinders per day, with priority being given to the needy, the minister said.

The move comes under a revised total daily cap of 6,480 cylinders , under which essential services are being prioritised. Any surplus cylinders from one category will be transferred to other categories after meeting primary demand, Sirsa said.

The government has directed oil marketing companies, or OMCs, to strictly adhere to the daily limit of 6,480 cylinders and inform the department about any inter-category transfers.
