--Govt restores non-domestic packed LPG supplies to pre-West Asia war levels
--Govt relaxes bulk LPG supply restrictions imposed at start of West Asia war
MUMBAI – The Centre has removed all sectoral restrictions on the supply of non-domestic packed liquefied petroleum gas supply and restored it to the level before the West Asia war, the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas said in a press release Thursday. In what is a relief to commercial and industrial consumers, the total curb on the supply of bulk LPG has been relaxed by 50% of the pre-war consumption level.
These measures come days after the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding to temporarily cease fighting in the Persian Gulf and lift curbs on the movement of energy through the Strait of Hormuz immediately. The war began on Feb. 28 when the US and Israel began aerially bombarding Iran.
Days after the war broke out, the government issued orders requiring the C3-C4 streams to be used exclusively for the production of LPG and diverting them from petrochemical and other downstream purposes. The two streams are specific hydrocarbon groups that are separated during the refining of petroleum and processing of natural gas. While the C3 stream is used largely as LPG, the C4 stream is blended into cooking gas or motor fuel. The Centre has now cut the diversion of C3-C4 streams to the LPG pool.
"The enhanced allocation of C3-C4 streams for non-LPG uses will be implemented while ensuring that the domestic LPG availability remains unaffected and aggregate indigenous LPG production is maintained at not less than 40 TMT (40,000 tonnes) per day," the ministry said in the release. End
