Petroleum Ministry clarifies that No Limit on Number of Cylinders

(Press Note) Press reports, suggesting misuse of subsidy, based on number of LPG cylinders supplied as per consumption data from LPG Transparency Portal are factually incorrect. As per the current rules and regulations there is no limit on the number of cylinders consumed by any individual. In order to rationalize the consumption of subsidized LPG cylinders, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas has a proposal for limiting the consumption of subsidized cylinder for all LPG consumers.  While this proposal is under consideration, the launch of LPG Transparency Portal is another initiative that intends to bring about transparency in the entire LPG supply chain by providing access to LPG supply data to all the LPG consumers and civil society. It is expected that proactive use of this Portal will bring about efficiency in LPG supplies, thereby enabling MoPNG to improve the supply of subsidized LPG to its citizens.  ***** Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Govt. of India New Delhi, June 22, 2012 Source:-PIB
