In a letter to all State and UT Chief Secretaries, Petroleum Secretary Dr Neeraj Mittal said the enhanced allocation aims to support key sectors, particularly those linked to food supply and public welfare. The ministry said priority sectors for the additional allocation include restaurants, dhabas, hotels, industrial canteens, food processing and dairy units, subsidised canteens run by state governments or local bodies, community kitchens and 5kg free trade LPG for migrant labourers. It also said all commercial and industrial LPG consumers must register with oil marketing companies before becoming eligible for allocation under the 50 per cent supply.In a letter to all State and UT Chief Secretaries, Petroleum Secretary Dr Neeraj Mittal said the enhanced allocation aims to support key sectors, particularly those linked to food supply and public welfare.
