The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has decided to restart full-cylinder LPG sales for a limited period next week to clear excess stock. Earlier, sales had been restricted to half cylinders due to supply disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions in West Asia. However, with LPG imports falling by 24.2 percent in April and more than 10,000 metric tons of gas accumulating at plants—along with 250 bullet trucks stuck at customs—the corporation is temporarily easing restrictions. The policy is expected to remain in effect for 15 to 20 days to reduce inventory pressure and lower costs for industrial users.
