‘How do we make ladi pav without gas?’ ask Mumbai bakers amid the ongoing LPG crisis

What Happened

Mumbai's bakery industry faces severe disruption due to LPG shortage. The Bombay Bakers Association, representing 600-650 bakeries, warns of closures if shortages persist. Bakeries produce approximately one crore ladi pavs daily. Many switched from coal to gas following court orders but now cannot source cylinders. Black market prices reach Rs 4,000 per cylinder. Several bakeries temporarily closed. Production capacity reduced to 50 percent across the sector.
