“If the situation continues like this, nearly half of Mumbai’s hotels could shut down in the coming days,” the association said.

Mumbai’s hotel industry is facing a severe disruption as the ongoing LPG cylinder shortage forces operations to grind to a halt. According to the Mumbai Hotels and Restaurants Association (AHRA), around 20% of hotels in the city have already closed temporarily due to the unavailability of cooking gas.

The association warned that nearly 50% may have to shut down soon if the supply situation does not improve, India Today reported.

According to AHAR, the continued operation of restaurants will depend on the LPG stock each establishment currently has on hand.

“If the situation continues like this, nearly half of Mumbai’s hotels could shut down in the coming days," the association said.

However, AHAR clarified that the association has not made any collective decision to shut hotels. Whether restaurants remain open or temporarily close will be determined by each hotel owner based on the gas supply available at their establishment.
