Amid the LPG crisis, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has issued a notification, stating that the households that already have a connection for Piped Natural Gas (PNG) will no longer be allowed to retain a domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) connection.

The government notification stated that such consumers must immediately surrender their LPG connections and will not be eligible to receive LPG cylinder refills from government oil companies or their authorised distributors.
