Amaravati, Mar 17 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said the state currently holds a 14,000-ton LPG reserve, enough to meet the demand for the next 15 days.
Reviewing the LPG supply chain at Real Time Governance System (RTGS) with officials, the CM assured that additional stocks will arrive soon to bolster the state’s energy security.
“Gas stocks sufficient for another 15 days are available,” said Naidu in an official press release.
To prevent the illegal diversion of domestic cylinders, the CM mandated the use of e-KYC and OTP for all deliveries.
He directed officials to ensure uninterrupted supply to hospitals, hostels and temples.
To reduce immediate pressure on LPG, Naidu called for increasing the availability of induction stoves stocks in the state.
Urging gas companies to ramp up production and improve supply, he underscored the importance of strengthening city gas distribution network.
Further, the CM also advocated for the supply of natural gas produced in the Krishna-Godavari Basin through piped gas infrastructure.
Officials were directed to explore the possibilities of scaling Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) usage. PTI STH ROH
