Conflicting Reports Emerge Over LPG Gas Shortage in Nepal Amid Rising Winter Demand

Complaints are surfacing in the market regarding a shortage of cooking gas (LPG) at present. Consumers report returning empty cylinders after sellers responded with "no gas available" when they went to purchase it.

Gas industrialists have also informed that the market is facing a shortage due to reduced imports. In this situation, the government regulatory body, Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), claims that sufficient gas is being imported and preparations are underway to increase the import volume further.
