Eight LPG vessels, carrying approximately 340TM, equivalent to around 11 days of India\u2019s import requirement have successfully transited the Strait, reinforcing the country\u2019s energy security and supply stability.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The ministers and top govt officials were apprised about the steps taken to address issues, including doubling the supply of 5 kg free trade LPG cylinders beyond the 20% allocation earmarked for priority segments to support the vulnerable communities, including migrant labourers.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>\u201cOil PSU retail pump outlets continue to dispense auto LPG to support the public transportation requirements.
