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

PM Sir, I am also one of the retired soldier who giveitup lpg subsidy for nation economic growth and also giveup LPG to Rural area persons. But Many Lpg Distributors are making money to sell subsidy cylinders in the black market. Kindly reduce the LPG cylinders to 8 - 10 per year. We can reduce the black market. Thanks.

a) Combine the customer database of all 3 oil companies IOC, BPC and HPC. Make a common booking platform run by the Ministry. Make clusters of distributors in towns and cities. Customer will book on the common booking platform. The booking should be transferred to the distributor with least backlog. Any PSU Oil company distributor should be able to supply to any PSU oil company customer. b) Increase subsidised LPG cost by Rs 5 every month.

Hi Sir , Through auction more no of distributer should be created. 2- should have offices in those rural areas whose population is more than 5000. 3- Delivery is also main concern in the rural areas which should be kept in mind. 4- rate should be reasonable as now days distributer compel to take Gas pipe regulator with the LPG if these things are removed connection prices of LPG will automatically be lower. which will encourage rural people to take connection.

It is good effort of govt. for trying to fulfill the requirement of LPG at home to home.LPG is the basic fuel for all the residence, hence,it should be available to all the people at reasonable rate and also in required quantity. Gas pipeline system is welcome concept. further, at the rural area and economically backward and poor area, some general system of LPG gas line should be given as given in water supply point of general, so, that they can avail and use at very low cost, best wishes

We can reduce consumption of LPG in urban areas by replacing with PNG (Piped Natural Gas) and then extent same to rural areas.
