LPG refill booking interval cut to 25 days for rural consumers too, Minister Suresh Gopi confirms
Union Minister Suresh Gopi confirmed that rural LPG consumers now need to wait only 25 days between refill bookings, same as urban users. Earlier, rural customers waited 45 days due to supply pressure from the West Asia conflict. With supply improving, the government has removed the longer rural gap. All domestic consumers can book after 25 days, with immediate effect.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Rural consumers' LPG refill booking interval is reduced from 45 days to 25 days.
- The uniform 25-day rule applies to all domestic consumers, both urban and rural, with immediate effect.
- The earlier 45-day rural gap was introduced due to supply pressure from the West Asia conflict in February 2026.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you live in a rural area and it has been 25 days or more since your last LPG refill, you can now book your next one without waiting for the earlier 45-day period.
