Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has ramped up its LPG supply operations across India amid an unprecedented rise in consumer demand, delivering 349 lakh LPG cylinders between April 1 and April 28, 2026. The company said it delivered 13.8 lakh cylinders on April 28 alone, underlining its ability to sustain high-volume operations during peak demand. To support the surge, HPCL deployed 2,06,985 tankers during the period to ensure uninterrupted replenishment of bottling plants and distributor points nationwide. The company said dispatches are being dynamically aligned with consumption trends, while bottling plants are operating with faster turnaround times, optimized logistics routes, and extended working hours to maintain delivery schedules.
HPCL’s digital ecosystem has also emerged as a key operational driver, with 99.3 per cent of LPG bookings processed online, enabling faster coordination between customer bookings and backend supply systems. Alongside supply management, the company intensified vigilance measures, conducting 6,150 inspections and 664 raids that resulted in 44 FIRs and seizure of 4,155 cylinders.
In Guwahati, LPG dealers and distributors reported stable availability despite rising household and commercial demand across Assam and the Northeast. Market observers said HPCL’s strengthened logistics network and digital booking systems helped maintain timely deliveries, especially in semi-urban and high-consumption pockets where LPG demand has seen steady growth.
