NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday dismissed reports claiming changes in LPG refill booking timelines, terming them misleading and unfounded.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) clarified that no revisions have been made to the existing refill booking norms for LPG connections.
The ministry stated that some media reports and social media posts had claimed that refill booking timelines had been altered to 45 days for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries, 25 days for non-PMUY single-cylinder users, and 35 days for non-PMUY double-cylinder consumers.
“No such changes have been made, ” the official statement said, adding that the current timelines remain unchanged.
As per the existing norms, LPG refills can be booked after 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas, irrespective of the type of connection.
The government also urged citizens not to believe or circulate such misinformation and to avoid unnecessary or panic booking of LPG refills.
