LPG subsidy for BPCL consumers to continue post privatisation: Pradhan
New Delhi: LPG subsidy for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) consumers to continue post privatisation, said Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday.
“Subsidy on LPG is paid to consumers directly and not to any company. So the ownership of the company that sells LPG is not of any material consequence,” Pradhan told PTI.
Pradhan on Friday laid the foundation stone for the Leafiniti Bioenergy’s CBG plant in Bagalkot district of Karnataka,through video conference. This plant will utilize 200 TPD of press mud and will be commissioned at the estimated cost of about 42 crores. This will generate about 10.2 TPD of CBG and also bio-manure. Praj Industries and DVO Inc. have provided the technology for the proposed plant.
