Mr. Sirsa said the move is aimed at supporting industries, migrant workers, and small businesses. In a post on X, the Minister cited the ongoing crisis in West Asia and said the enhanced quota prioritises “labour-intensive sectors where LPG use is essential, including steel, automobile, textile, chemical, and plastics industries, to ensure continuity in production and employment”.
