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

In densely forested areas the forest department can help with 2kg/ 5kg cylinders, In the Hilly regions the local vendor of daily needs can be given franchisee & big gas tank is provided there then their yearly or quarterly needs will be taken care of easily by connecting it with a pipe line & later recharged with the help of aerial refuellng aeroplanes. In desert areas the paramilitary, Army (EME canteen services)Postal/Courier Services can provide 2kg/5kg cylinders as it can be easily carried

If LPG should reach each and every users then government should force's on production of more Bio gas's through private company or foreign company  which can supplied by the company in rural areas effectively.

LPG India should be privatized and the supply to the Consumer should be centralized and charge the customer depending the usage. It will more effective and it will avoid the LPG gas pole. Alternative energy should be used more like Solar Energy and Eco friendly fuels. Dont encourage Autorikshas using the LPG which is main cause for the Pollution both Air /Noise .

1) gas distributors give gas saving points with hard copy to customers. Then customers save they have mony when they can be save gas in cooking time. Therefore gas will be come more days to customers.so, they are no booking the gas in short term. And gas godowns have more stock of gas filled cylinders and it's will be help full to increasing LPG coverage in the throw out country.
