Government planning to raise cap on subsidized LPG cylinders to nine per household

12 Dec 2012 Evaluate

The government is planning to raise the cap on the number of subsidized LPG cylinders to nine per household in a year. Oil minister Veerappa Moily seemed worried of a political backlash on the decision to limit the supply of subsidized LPG to just six cylinders per household annually and has asked the Finance Minister P Chidambaram to modify the government’s earlier decision on subsidized LPG cylinders.

Moily said that “I think it should go up, definitely from six cylinders to nine cylinders and decision to raise the cap will be taken by the Cabinet very shortly”.

As per the September 13 decision, any requirement beyond six subsidized LPG cylinders annually will cost the market rate of Rs 931 per cylinder from subsidized rate of Rs 410.50 per cylinder. Only 44 percent of households in the country consume six cylinders in a year, while the majority consumes 9-12 cylinders.

However, the government will have to bear extra burden of Rs 9,000 crore annually to provide an additional subsidy if the cap is raised to nine cylinders.
