LPG shortage begins to hit Hyderabad restaurants as menus shrink; an outlet shut for Friday

The nationwide Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) supply disruption, which appeared manageable in Hyderabad in the past few days, began affecting the city’s hospitality sector more severely on Friday (March 13, 2026) with several restaurants and hotels either shutting operations or restricting services.

Simply South restaurant announced on Instagram on Friday morning that its Jubilee Hills outlet would remain closed for the day due to the disruption. “Due to ongoing gas supply constraints, our kitchen operations are currently impacted. While we realign our kitchen systems and operations, the outlet will not be operational today,” the restaurant said in its post.
