Many restaurants that rely heavily on gas for cooking are facing operational disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports indicate that <strong>over a dozen eateries in areas such as Paharganj and Vasant Kunj temporarily shut down<\/strong> after both LPG cylinders and PNG supplies became limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurant owners say the situation is particularly difficult because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commercial LPG cylinders are <strong>unavailable even in the grey market<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PNG supply has now been <strong>reduced simultaneously<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many kitchens depend on <strong>continuous gas supply for daily operations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry leaders warn that if the crisis continues, a <strong>large portion of Delhi\u2019s restaurant ecosystem could face shutdowns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Businesses Exploring Alternative Cooking Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With both LPG and PNG supplies tightening, many restaurants and food businesses are considering alternatives such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Electric or induction cooking systems<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coal or firewood-based cooking<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduced menus to save fuel consumption<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial complexes have also advised tenants to <strong>keep electrical cooking equipment as backup<\/strong> during the gas shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Domestic PNG Supply Remains a Priority<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the restrictions for businesses, authorities have clarified that <strong>household PNG supply remains protected<\/strong>. Domestic cooking gas and CNG for vehicles are classified as <strong>priority sectors<\/strong> under government supply regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government\u2019s strategy is to ensure that <strong>households continue receiving cooking fuel<\/strong>, while commercial users temporarily adjust consumption until global supply stabilizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ongoing LPG crisis has now extended to piped gas networks, with <strong>IGL cutting commercial PNG supply by 20% in Delhi-NCR<\/strong> to protect household fuel availability.
