Manoj Kumar Thakur, NOC spokesperson, informed that consumers will now be able to purchase half-filled cylinders containing 7.1 kilograms of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The price of the half-filled cylinder will also be set at Rs 955 per cylinder, half the current price of a full cylinder.
Thakur added that the decision was taken due to growing global demand for gas and supply disruptions caused by ongoing international conflicts.
However, the import of petroleum products and LPG from the Indian Oil Corporation has remained normal to date, he said.
