The government has eased kerosene distribution rules for 60 days to tackle the LPG shortage caused by the West Asia crisis. Selected state-run petrol pumps, including in 21 “kerosene-free” states and UTs like Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and UP, can now supply kerosene for cooking and lighting. OMCs may store up to 2,500 litres, and dealers have been exempted from certain licences to speed up distribution. The move aims to ensure fuel availability amid limited LPG imports.
