India is home to more than 33 crore (330 million) LPG users.

Consumption habits differ sharply from one region to the next. In metropolitan hubs like Delhi, cooking gas is used far more frequently.

In contrast, families in the predominantly rural states of, for instance, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, folks tend to make a cylinder last close to two months, as per estimates by PPAC (Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell) for 2025-2026.
