Kolkata, March 10 Amid the West Asia crisis, restaurants in Kolkata have started facing a shortage of commercial LPG, with industry associations warning of disruption in operations if the fuel supply is not normalised soon.
Industry representatives said the situation in Kolkata mirrors similar complaints from restaurants in cities such as Bengaluru and Chennai, where eateries have warned that they might have to halt operations due to dried-up LPG supplies.
According to the National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI), the sector is heavily dependent on commercial LPG, and any prolonged fuel supply disruption could force widespread closures.
