I am aware of this problem, but I do not agree with its intensity especially in India.
I, too, am an Indian, and LPG is used for cooking in my home as well; so far, I haven't faced any problems in receiving my cylinder.
As for the government's decision to extend the booking interval to 25 and 45 days, typically, a single cylinder lasts for even longer than that in a family of 4 to 5 members. Furthermore, it is a fact that families comprising 4 or more members invariably hold more than one connection; therefore, technically speaking, this 25-day and 45-day rule does not impact them at all.
As far as I have been able to observe—drawing from the examples of my maid and another brother of mine—the LPG shortage is affecting only those people who never obtained an LPG connection in the first place, aside from street food vendors and restaurant owners. This is because they used to procure cylinders through some jugaad—a method that is no longer working—or middlemen are exploiting the situation to demand three-four or five times the price.
