Zorawar Kalra, Restaurateur & Vice-President of National Restaurants Association of India, said on Tuesday that if the shortage of LPG Cylinder supply persists, there could be a potential loss of Rs 1200-1300 crores per day to the restaurant industry. Additionally, the premier hotel body Federation of Hotels and Restaurant Associations of India (FHRA) said that the issue has become “extremely serious over the past week”.
Speaking to ANI, Kalra said, “If the problem continues, there could be a potential loss of Rs 1200-1300 crores per day to the restaurant industry…We can see there is a problem with supply. 70 per cent-75 per cent of the restaurants in India use LPG. We are hopeful this situation will be resolved soon. The supply of cylinders is becoming limited. We request the authorities to give us essential services status, as in Covid pandemic.”
