The impact of the Iran–US war is now reaching everyday life in India.
The Government of India has invoked the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 to regulate LPG supply and prevent hoarding during potential shortages.
Under this system, domestic LPG supply will be prioritized over commercial use, which could affect restaurants, cafes and canteens that rely heavily on LPG.
India consumes about 31–32 million tonnes of LPG annually, but produces only around 12 million tonnes, importing the rest from countries such as United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Since 88–90 percent of LPG in India is used by households, ensuring domestic supply has become the government’s priority. Reports from Chennai suggest some restaurants are already struggling with limited LPG supplies.
The situation shows how global conflicts can quickly affect energy supply and daily life.
Jai Hind. Jai Bharat. 🇮🇳
@blinkitcares Hi @blinkitcares, the screen recording and my registered number were already shared in DM earlier. As shown in the screenshot, the message was sent on March 5 at 10:18. The recording contains my address so I cannot post it publicly.
Hey @snitchindia@letsblinkit what kind of checkout experience is this? Coupon BLINKIT25 gets applied successfully in the cart, none of the items have any price cut or existing discount, but the moment I try to pay the payment fails.
Remove the coupon and payment goes through instantly. If this coupon isn’t actually usable, why promote it through Blinkit in the first place? This is misleading and a complete waste of time. Please fix this.
Congratulations to the U-19 Indian team for lifting the World Cup once again. Our domination in the age group cricket and beyond continues. Well done to the whole squad and the support staff. 👏🇮🇳
