India's Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said on Saturday that it has barred consumers with piped natural gas connections from retaining, obtaining or refilling domestic LPG cylinders under an amended supply order.

The amendment also prohibits government oil companies from providing LPG connections or refills to consumers who already have PNG connections, the ministry said in a statement.
