LPG is one of the ‘clean’ cooking fuel with present consumer base of 17cr in the country and present coverage is 60% of the households. Government of India is committed to increase LPG coverage in the country to 75% of the household. Present, LPG distributor network has more than 17000 distributors spread having presence in both Rural and Urban areas of the Country. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India is of the view that there is a need to increase of LPG coverage in the rural areas considering the benefits of LPG in terms of health and environment. Ministry recognizes that availability, accessibility and affordability of LPG are the key factors to increase the LPG coverage in rural areas. This can be done with bringing in new distributorships aligning with challenges encountered with respect of making them available to the last mile.

Therefore, Ministry solicits suggestions/inputs from citizens on the new model of distributorship particularly for the areas such as Hilly/Desert/Densely forested/other difficult locations. Also, to suggest names of locations which require establishing new distributorship.

The extant Guidelines for Selection of Distributorship is available on www.petroleum.nic.in

There must be increased focus on installing food waste based biogas plants in household. Tier 2 and tier 3 cities are more suited as family have individual houses. If Govt offers subsidy for installing these biogas plants. It will decrease the need for costly finite petroleum based gas. So our import bill will also decrease. We can encourage local startups to setup these plants creating jobs. The city will also be clean as these food waste ends up in landfills.

most of the household cooking gas is being used for commercial purposes like in small hotels, tea shops,canteens against rules. This should be curbed first.More number of incentives have to given for the dealears coming forward to establish dealership in hilly, desert and forest covered areas.Only high incentives and more payment to the delivery boys could help in increase in coverage of LPG in hilly and other difficult locations.National awards should be given to best dealer in difficult areas

We have to increase the LPG penetration in rural areas. For this we have to educate the rural people how and why LPG is safest and most clean and convenient fuel available now a days.Every panchayat and LPG distributor in that area should be given a target that at one village in a year must be smoke free.

What of govt build several biogas plants in, at first, rural areas. People would also contribute. The waste is also used in biogas. It is totally eco-friendly. I admit that people are going modern but if govt starts this people could cooperate particularly in villages and slowly it can be promoted to cities. If the plan works, we can get rid of bulky cylinders that needs to be transported, money is saved. And somehow people will become contributive and responsible
