The Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri S. Jaipal Reddy informed the Rajya Sabha in a written reply today that as per the “Vision-2015” adopted for LPG sector, it is proposed that all blocks in the country to have minimum one LPG distributor, all districts to have 50% LPG coverage, all States to have minimum 60% LPG coverage and LPG coverage of 75% on all India basis.
Shri Reddy also said that during the period from 2009 to June, 2012, Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) namely, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) have enrolled 15, 81,114 customers through their Rajiv Gandhi Gramin LPG Vitaran (RGGLV) distributorships, in the country. The highest number of enrollment was in the State UP(2,46,356), followed by Bihar (2,28,681), Maharashtra (2,11,397), Rajasthan (1,94,670) and Andhra Pradesh (1,47,850).
Responding to another query, the Minister informed that OMCs have reported that they have supplied 2.4 billion litres of PDS Kerosene oil in the country during the period from April, 2012 to June, 2012 as against 2.9 billion litres during the period from April, 2009 to June, 2009, which constitutes a reduction of 17.5%. This is a combined effect of LPG expansion and reduction in allocation. The SKO quota for each year is determined by reducing the previous year’s allocation on account of factors, inter-alia, increase in domestic LPG coverage, lapse of PDS Kerosene quota and cap on the allocation on a per capita basis for the non-covered LPG population, he added.
