BENGALURU: Employees at Infosys’ Bengaluru campuses may have to forgo dosa cravings for a few days as disruptions in commercial LPG supply force food courts to limit menu options and suspend live counters.Infosys has issued advisories to employees across its Bengaluru, Pune and Chennai development centres, outlining how food court operations will be affected due to the LPG shortage.“As you may be aware, we are amid an impending situation regarding availability of commercial LPG. Owing to this, our food-court operations will be realigned effective March 12. Certain offerings will be limited, including withdrawal of live counter options, until further notice,” an advisory sent to the Bengaluru employees said.At the Pune campus, some cooked food will be sourced from vendors’ external central kitchens, while alternative cooking methods using electrical appliances and biofuel are being stepped up to manage the disruption. Employees have also been asked to avoid planning on-campus events that require internal catering and are encouraged to bring food from home wherever feasible.In Chennai, the advisory noted that constraints in LPG supply have led to some food court items being temporarily unavailable or served in limited quantities. Vendors are working on alternative arrangements to minimise disruption, and the full menu will be restored once supplies stabilise.“A small adjustment at an individual level can collectively make a meaningful impact, and we truly appreciate your cooperation and understanding,” the advisory said, adding the company is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with LPG suppliers and food court operators.Food-court vendors are currently receiving reduced LPG supplies from their providers, limiting their ability to operate at full capacity. As a result, all food courts will temporarily operate with a limited menu, with some cooked food being sourced from vendors’ external central kitchens and increased use of alternate cooking methods such as electrical appliances and biofuel.Infosys did not respond to an email seeking comment. The company has built capacity to treat organic waste generated within its campuses — including food and garden waste — through biogas plants and organic waste converters. The resulting biogas is used in food court kitchens, while compost is used for landscaping.
