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

Govt needs to runawareness program in rural areas where even now woods r used as fuel.it will promote use of lpg and reduce pollution both.certain schemes-giving rewards to those who use lpg should be initiated.more distributors should be appointed,in remote areas.in fact,our leaders must give up subsidy so as to inspire other capable to leave subsidy on lpg so that it may benefit those who actual need it.but I think awareness is the most important and effective tool.

IF A PERSON WANTS TO HAVE TWO CONNECTIONS THEN THE OTHER ONE MUST BE NON-SUBSIDISED ONE. PRESENTLY THE DELIVERY OF REFILL TAKES 10-15 DAYS IN RURAL AREAS OF BIHAR. IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE WAITING PERIOD THE NUMBER OF DISTRIBUTORS SHOULD BE INCREASED.

THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE MIGRATED FROM THEIR HOME STATE TO OTHER STATE IN SEARCH OF EMPLOYMENT LEAVING THEIR AT NATIVE PLACE. SUCH PEOPLE NEED LPG CONNECTIONS AT BOTH THE PLACES EITHER IN HIS NAME OR IN THE NAME OF HIS WIFE/MOTHER OR FATHER. IF BOTH THE CONNECTIONS ARE HELD IN ONE SINGLE PERSON THE CONNECTION IS BLOCKED LEADING TO UNMEASURABLE PROBLEMS TO THE FAMILY OR THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY. IN THE GIVEN SITUATION THERE MUST BE SOME ARRANGEMENT TO ENSURE DELIVERY OF LPG CONNECTION AT BOTH
