Maldives Gas has said it will temporarily reduce the amount of gas filled into cylinders because of import difficulties and rising global prices.
Customers will continue to pay the existing rate per kilogram but will receive cylinders filled to a lower weight until supply conditions improve. The company described the measure as a short-term adjustment to manage available stocks.
Cooking gas supply is a sensitive issue for households across the atolls. Previous disruptions have led to temporary shortages and price concerns. Authorities have not announced any subsidy changes linked to the current adjustment.
Maldives Gas is the main supplier of liquefied petroleum gas for domestic use. Further updates on import schedules and when full cylinder weights will resume are expected from the company.
