The Government has debunked news reports and social media posts claiming that LPG refill booking timelines have been revised for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) connections to 45 Days. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has said that news reports and social media posts also claimed the new timelines as 25 days for non-PMUY single-bottle connections and 35 days for non-PMUY double-bottle connections.

The Ministry clarified that no such changes have been made. It added that the existing refill booking timelines remain unchanged and continue to be 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas, irrespective of connection type. The Government has further reiterated that adequate LPG stocks are available in the country, emphasising that there is no cause for concern. The Government has also advised the citizens not to believe or circulate such misinformation and to avoid unnecessary or panic booking of LPG refills.
