NEW DELHI, AUG 02, 2015: THE Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural Gas, Mr Dharmendra Pradhan, informed the Rajya Sabha in a written reply on Friday that Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies(OMCs) have reported that as on 01.07.2015, total number of 14.2 Kg. cylinders  in circulation are  30.39 crore.

As on 20.07.2015, total 12,14,297 consumers have voluntarily given up/surrendered subsidized LPG. This has resulted in saving of Rs. 5,65,37,66,832/-

At present, there is no proposal under consideration of the Government to withdraw subsidy from the LPG consumers. However, Government has launched an initiative to encourage LPG consumers to voluntarily give up their LPG subsidy.

Every LPG consumer, who surrenders LPG subsidy, is linked to a BPL household who gets LPG connection in turn.
