The Indian government announced a record single-day delivery of over 5.1 million LPG cylinders on April 4, 2026. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas stated this effort was part of a special drive to ensure adequate supply and prevent shortages at gas agencies across the country.
According to official statements, the distribution network, including oil marketing companies and their distributors, was mobilized to achieve this milestone. The government emphasized that there were no reports of dry-outs at any gas agencies, attributing the smooth supply to coordinated logistics and planning.
The initiative is linked to the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) scheme, which aims to provide clean cooking fuel to households. Officials cited this record delivery as evidence of the scheme's robust supply chain and commitment to meeting consumer demand, especially during peak periods.
