Mysuru hotel association welcomes state government's measures to solve LPG problem

Mysuru Hotel Owners Association (MHOA) has welcomed the Karnataka government's measures to allow hoteliers to purchase commercial Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders directly from dealers, instead of sub-dealers, as it will promote more accountability and transparency.

MHOA president C Narayana Gowda called upon the members to make use of the modifications to sustain the business and enroll with the dealers in the prescribed format, by paying the required deposit.

He said, the owners of hotels should provide the details of their establishment - name, address, contact person with designation, phone number and email ID, and GST or PAN as applicable.

“The hoteliers should provide their customer or consumer ID, distributor’s name and LPG requirement – how many tonnes they need, and what quantity they have already bought from April 2025 to February 2026,” Gowda said.

He said the hoteliers should give a ‘Declaration of End Use’. “Tick the purpose (cooking/food preparation, hotel/restaurant/catering, institutional, or other) and confirm that you won’t divert the gas, that you will follow safety rules, will keep records, and that you have applied for Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connection with the City Gas Distribution (CGD) entity,” he said.
