## ANSWER

## पेट्रोल ियम एवं प्राक ृ तिक गैस मंत्री ( श्री धमेन्द्र प्रधान )

MINISTER OF  PETROLEUM  AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI  DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a) Domestic sale of LPG by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) during the last year  i.e.  2018-19  was    21,725  TMT.  State/UT-wise  details  are  at Annexure.
- (b) to (d) OMCs have reported that they endeavour to meet the genuine demand of customers  across  the  country  and  also  endeavour  to  make  supplies  to each State/UT as per the Demand. However, sometimes delay in supplies may occur for reasons such as natural calamities, strikes, absenteeism, transport breakdowns, shortage of product, occupancy of jetty at ports etc. In such scenario, all efforts are made for meeting the Demand of LPG by augmenting bulk LPG supplies, arranging additional imports, positioning of bulk at the plants through alternate routes and operation of LPG bottling plants on sundays/holidays and during extended hours.
