Hoteliers Seek CM’s Intervention To Boost LPG Supply

: A delegation of hoteliers from Andhra Pradesh Star Hotels Association (ASHA), led by its president RV Swamy, met Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday and sought his intervention to increase commercial LPG supply to 50 per cent.

The delegation said that oil marketing companies limited LPG supply to 10-15 percent, which caused operational difficulties in hotels and restaurants.

They also requested the state government to provide electricity subsidy of ₹2 per unit for establishments adopting electric cooking, similar to the scheme in Tamil Nadu.

The delegation urged the government to expedite the rollout of PNG infrastructure in key cities such as Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Tirupati.

ASHA president RV Swamy said the Prime Minister responded positively to their concerns.
