Soon, you might be able to switch your LPG provider
India's Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) wants to let you swap your LPG provider—like Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, or Hindustan Petroleum—without changing your actual connection.
The goal? More choice for you and fewer headaches if one company has issues.
What's changing?
Right now, you can only switch dealers within your current company. Under the new plan, you could jump between companies.
PNGRB is taking feedback until mid-October before making it official.
Why this matters
With over 32 crore LPG users in India, complaints about delays and service are common—17 lakh every year!
This new system means you could get refills from whichever distributor is closest, making life simpler and service better for everyone.
When will this start?
Once feedback is reviewed, PNGRB will finalize the rules and announce when this kicks in.
If all goes well, getting cooking gas in India could soon be way more flexible—and a lot less frustrating.
