Telangana has sufficient petrol, diesel and LPG supply: OMCs
Oil Marketing Companies have confirmed that petrol, diesel and LPG supply in Telangana remains stable and sufficient. Daily LPG deliveries stand at 2.18 lakh cylinders, with demand normalising. Authorities also continue promoting PNG and improving distribution systems across the State.
Hyderabad: The Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) in Telangana have confirmed that the availability of petrol, diesel, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in the State is sufficient to meet current demand.
The OMCs have prioritised domestic LPG distribution, ensuring uninterrupted and timely delivery of cylinders, a statement on Monday said.
Currently, approximately 2.18 lakh domestic LPG cylinders are being delivered daily in Telangana, compared to the pre-war average of 2,15,151 cylinders per day, indicating a stable and robust supply system.
The demand for petrol and diesel has moderated and is now comparable to pre-war levels. LPG refill bookings have also declined significantly, as panic-driven bookings by consumers have reduced considerably, the statement said.
According to the State-level Coordinator for OMCs, public sector oil companies are closely monitoring the supply situation and have undertaken necessary measures to streamline logistics and expedite deliveries.
OMCs are in continuous coordination with the State Government to address operational issues on a day-to-day basis and ensure smooth and uninterrupted supply of petrol, diesel, and LPG across Telangana.
Consumers are being encouraged to book LPG cylinders through SMS, missed call, and IVRS platforms, and to utilise the Delivery Authentication Code (DAC) to ensure delivery to the rightful beneficiary.
The Central and State Governments are also promoting Piped Natural Gas (PNG) as a convenient, safe, and efficient alternative cooking fuel. PNG services are currently available in Hyderabad, Medchal, Sangareddy, Choutuppal, Nalgonda, Warangal, Khammam, Shadnagar, Ramagundam, and other selected towns.
Efforts are underway to expand PNG connectivity to additional urban and semi-urban areas in the State. For migrant workers and students without local address proof, 5-kg free trade LPG cylinders are available through authorised distributors upon submission of valid identity proof and a self-declaration.
