IOCL assures stable LPG supply in Mizoram

The Indian Oil Corporation Limited on Monday said the LPG supply across the country remained stable despite the West Asia crisis, assuring uninterrupted delivery and urging consumers not to indulge in panic booking.
Speaking at a press conference here, IOCL sales manager (Aizawl-II) Diganta Chaudhury said the corporation was prioritising domestic LPG requirements and was closely monitoring the supply chain to ensure uninterrupted delivery to consumers.
He said the corporation was catering to around 2.97 lakh households in the state and maintaining delivery of about 8,000 cylinders daily, which is consistent with pre-crisis levels.
Furthermore, total commercial LPG allocation has been increased to around 70 per cent of pre-crisis levels to support local businesses, he said.
To streamline the refill process, officials of Indian Oil Corporation Limited said customers are encouraged to use digital booking methods such as SMS and IVRS.
Currently, nearly 25,000 refill requests are being received through these channels, they said.
In addition, delivery authentication codes (DAC OTP) have been implemented to ensure cylinders reach genuine customers, they said.
Multiple raids have been conducted across the state, and strict action is being taken against any errant distributors found engaging in malpractices.
