LPG Delivery Gets OTP Lock: New Rules From May 1!
28 Apr
Summary
- OTP-based delivery for LPG cylinders becomes mandatory from May 1.
- Booking intervals are now 25 days in urban and 45 days in rural areas.
- New LPG supply is being imported from the United States due to shortages.
Starting May 1st, India is implementing significant rule changes for LPG cylinder bookings and deliveries. A key update is the mandatory use of an OTP sent to the registered mobile number for delivery authentication, a measure aimed at curbing illegal practices. Booking intervals have been extended, requiring 25 days between bookings in urban areas and 45 days in rural regions to prevent hoarding.
Further changes include mandatory Aadhaar-based eKYC for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries who haven't completed it. With disruptions in crude oil supply, Indian companies are increasing LPG imports from the United States, with expected deliveries in June and July. Consumers should ensure their mobile numbers are updated to comply with the new OTP delivery system.
