The Government of India has permitted the distribution of Superior Kerosene Oil as a temporary measure to support households facing energy challenges. This distribution is being carried out through the Public Distribution System, which is a long-established mechanism for providing essential commodities to citizens at subsidized rates. The move addresses disruptions in global energy supplies and ensures access to fuel for cooking and lighting, particularly in regions where kerosene had earlier been phased out due to increased LPG usage. The initiative also includes logistical arrangements, safety measures, and regulatory relaxations for efficient implementation.
