<h1>Fuel price freeze maintained as government directs companies to absorb costs and boosts LPG allocation to prevent shortages.</h1> Government sources say retail petrol and diesel prices will not be raised immediately; oil marketing companies are expected to absorb current cost pressures. The state reports adequate crude and fuel stocks for six to eight weeks, has increased the minimum domestic LPG refill booking gap from 21 to 25 days to prevent hoarding, and has directed refineries to maximise LPG production while monitoring global energy developments and recalibrating allocations to maintain supply chain stability.
