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

1.What happened to 2kg cylinders to made available at petrol pumps and major supermarkets? 2.This is regarding petrol stations-Make sure that petrol stations are available at every 10 kilometer distance so that people need not drives a long distance to fill petrol/diesel.Dealership may be decentralized and open for all who wants to start with minimum requirement guidelines.

The PSU selling LPG have not been able to eliminate problems of underweight cylinders, rudeness of agency staff and late supplies. The rot is now so deep that it is impossible to eradicate. If GOI wants to increase LPG penetration, it will have to make gas available on demand from well behaved outlets. The only way out is entry of private sector. Pvt banks forced the PSU banks to improve. Reliance and Essar pumps have changed the petrol buying experience. Similar change needed in LPG

LPG comes from petroleum and that is import dependent. While the focus to provide smokeless kitchens must continue, the Govt should also encourage biogas. Animal excreta and other input for it is widely available in rural areas. This will eliminate problems of transportation and will also provide manure. Mrs Indira Gandhi started free biogas plants that may be resumed or heavy incentives for biogas introduced. This will go a long way in ensuring non import dependent environment friendly energy

1) At one stroke, remove subsidy to all 16 crore LPG subscribers. Do not have any income limit. Those who need subsidy, let them approach government and prove that they need subsidy and reinstate subsidy for them. 2) Conduct door to door enumeration to collect inputs. Door to door enumerators were once used for creating voting list, why not do that for LPG? There will be big savings for the government and by door to door enumeration it will understand which consumer needs subsidy and which not.
