What Happened
Mumbai restaurants have increased prices by 10-20 percent due to an LPG shortage that began March 5 after a government circular restricted supply to domestic consumers. Black market cylinder costs reached Rs 4,000. Restaurant owners report receiving only one-two cylinders weekly against daily needs of one or more. Many have reduced menus by 30 percent. The government promotes Piped Natural Gas adoption as an alternative.
