Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has assured the residents of Delhi that there is no shortage of LPG cylinders in the national capital. While addressing the public on April 4, 2026, she requested citizens not to indulge in panic buying or create unnecessary crowds at agencies. The government has confirmed that home deliveries will continue as per the schedule and the supply chain remains under control.
Current Status of LPG Delivery and Supply in Delhi

On April 3, the oil marketing companies delivered 1,26,379 cylinders against 1,11,504 bookings, which indicates that more cylinders were delivered than booked on that day. Currently, the average time for a domestic cylinder delivery in Delhi is recorded at 4.37 days. Officials from the Food and Civil Supplies Department have also advised people in areas where PNG is available to switch to piped gas to avoid any future impact on LPG cylinder supply.
