Subsidised LPG price hiked by Rs 35.55 in five months: Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan
NEW DELHI: The price of subsidised cooking gas (LPG) has been hiked by Rs 35.55 per cylinder in the last five months, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Wednesday.
As per government policy, LPG all over the country is available only at market price. However, households are entitled to buying 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg each at a subsidised rate in a year.
The government transfers the subsidy amount directly into the bank accounts which the beneficiaries use to buy LPG at the market price.
