In an interview with Mint, Jain noted that LPG consumption in the country would continue for at least the next couple of decades for cooking purposes.

"The role of LPG as a potent medium is there for the next 15 to 20 years minimum. Under these circumstances, we need to consider what kind of logistical infra can be provided. Currently, the bulk LPG transport from ports and refineries to bottling plants can be made safer and more efficient," he said, adding that out of the around 28 million tonnes of LPG consumed in the country, only about 9 million tonnes is transported through pipelines.
