(Here's how non-subsidised LPG prices have been changed over the past few months)
The government currently subsidises 12 cylinders of 14.2 kilograms each per household every year. The consumer has to make any additional purchases of LPG cylinders at the prevailing market price.
The amount of subsidy provided by the government on the annual quota of 12 refills varies from month to month. The subsidy amount is determined broadly by factors such as crude oil and foreign exchange rates.
