Oil Ministry rules out national DME-LPG blending push, citing safety and compatibility risks
The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas said no national DME-LPG blending policy, incentive or PSU procurement programme is under consideration. With India importing about 60% of its LPG needs, the update keeps commercial LPG supply and cost exposure in focus for foodservice and hospitality operators.
Oil Ministry flagged safety, material-compatibility and energy-value drawbacks in blending DME with LPG, with no national policy planned. India’s LPG import dependence and West Asia disruption may affect supply and commercial LPG costs for foodservice and hospitality operators.
Why this matters
No prior related Ministry signals are provided. The decision keeps commercial LPG supply and cost exposure central for foodservice and hospitality operators.
