Bengaluru eateries cut menus to tea and coffee as commercial LPG supply halts
Commercial LPG cylinder supply disruptions have forced Bengaluru eateries to limit menus to tea and coffee as of March 10, 2026. The Bengaluru Hotels Association warned that full food service shutdowns may occur if supply is not restored, citing dealers' reports that cylinders have not been refilled since March 7. The shortage, attributed to geopolitical tensions affecting global oil prices, has created panic buying among hoteliers. Establishments with piped gas connections remain unaffected. Mid-day meal programs continue using domestic cylinders and alternative fuels. The supply crisis is spreading to other Karnataka cities including Shivamogga, compounding recent price increases of ₹115 per commercial cylinder.
