    What is LPG subsidy?

    What is LPG subsidy?
  • Around three years ago, the Indian government launched a scheme to help enable liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) extend its reach across the country's low-income market.

    The LPG Subsidy scheme would permit eligible consumers to avail LPG cylinders at cheaper prices.

    The scheme is linked to the consumer's Aadhar card, which helps in directly transferring the subsidy to the user's bank account.

  • In March 2015, the Indian government appealed to the Indian consumers to give up their LPG subsidies.

    A year later, the Oil Ministry announced that over 1 crore consumers had given up their LPG subsidies in hopes of saving a few thousand crores as costs to the exchequer.

    The country has nearly 15.34 crore consumers with LPG connections.

    PM Modi urges Indians to surrender subsidies

  • "Gas cylinders surrendered by them would be transferred to the poor who use wood for cooking. If one crore people give up their LPG subsidy, one crore poor people will benefit as they will be given new LPG cylinders instead," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.

  • By July this year, in an attempt to reduce the rising costs borne by the government in the form of fuel subsidies, the government halted fuel subsidies to over 7 lakh customers.

    These customers were pitched to be earning more than Rs.10 lakh per annum, and were touted to be high-income customers.

    The halt prompted the customers to purchase LPG at market prices.
