As on 12.12.2018, more than 1.03 crore LPG consumers have voluntarily surrendered their LPG subsidy under ‘GiveItUp’ campaign.
There is no proposal under consideration of the Government to revise or rationalize the subsidy rates of domestic LPG consumers in the country. The Government continues to modulate the effective price of Domestic LPG supplied to consumers.
Domestic LPG prices are revised every month in line with international price of LPG with corresponding revision in monthly LPG subsidy under PAHAL Scheme. Entire subsidy burden is borne by the Government.
PMUY beneficiaries are entitled to get subsidy under PAHAL Scheme. Applicable subsidy is transferred directly to the bank account of beneficiary upon purchase of refill at non-subsidised price. OMCs have reported that PMUY beneficiaries have purchased 22,91,66,657 refills as of 30.11.2018.
OMCs have reported that all distributors, except Durgam Kshetriya Vitraks, are under instructions to make home delivery of LPG cylinders in their authorised area of operation including rural areas. Further, with a view to strengthen the LPG distribution infrastructure and distributorship/ cylinders at doorsteps, OMCs have recently advertised more than 6400 locations across the country, which are mostly in rural areas.
