About 43% of households surveyed across India have faced delays in getting LPG in the past week, a survey by LocalCircles shows.
Around 8% had to buy cylinders in the black market due to shortages.
Black market prices range from an additional Rs 300 to as much as Rs 4,000 more than official rates per cylinder.
