LPG is the most talkative brand and the commodity among the Indian people whereas the amount of the subsidy is being increased day to day whereas the demand increases. and the government is trying to take necessary steps to tackle the problem.
Those requiring a connection immediately have little amount of value to choose,” an Indane distributor says. Pushing the consumers to take this decision is also the lack of clarity on the number of subsidised cylinders, each costing about Rs. 400, they would be entitled to for the rest of the financial year, he adds. A non-subsidised domestic cylinder costs nearly Rs. 500 more. Confirming that those getting new connections would not get more than two cylinders till March 31, an official of Bharat Petroleum Corporation said indications were that the de-duplication work is almost complete. The announcement regarding the new connection release could be expected shortly. The oil companies were already releasing new connections in ‘monopoly’ markets (rural areas where only one distributor operates).
