Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has assured consumers that the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has stabilized after a brief disruption. The shortfall occurred when India’s Barauni Refinery shut down for maintenance, forcing imports from the more distant Paradip Refinery. To avoid shortages during the election period, NOC has sought an additional 2,000 metric tons of LPG for February. In January alone, the corporation imported 47,304 metric tons. NOC has urged consumers to buy only what they need, noting that 50 bullet tankers have already departed from Barauni.
