A huge amount of Govt. money is spent on subsidy of petroleum products. The Govt. had to spend Rs. 1,39,869 crore on account of subsidy on petroleum products in the year 2013-14. As, the indigenous availability of crude Oil and LPG is limited, these are imported in huge quantities to fulfill the demand of the country.  As Govt. provides domestic LPG and PDS Kerosene on subsidised price, this results in huge subsidy burden on Govt. Due to presence of dual pricing(subsidized and non-subsidized) in LPG and SKO, there is a diversion of subsidized LPG and Kerosene into commercial usage. Although Govt. has taken several initiatives to reduce this diversion of subsidized LPG and PDS Kerosene, public participation is solicited to suggest ways for reducing diversion in LPG and PDS Kerosene.

You are invited to suggest ideas to reduce diversion and the subsidy burden on account of LPG and Kerosene.

Also as per points discussed in this forum, the method of LPG pipelines may be good. But it wud be cost effecting, hazardous, and an open weapon to anti social elements.

sir, sometime too much thinking and applying measures leads to more investment than savings. My simple way is just increase the prices of LPG cylinders successively for each cylinder in a year. Like as in electricity bill. For 4 cylinders subsidised rate and increase the rate with successive ones by Rs 100-500.

The Problems in Petroleum Sector can be resolved to a large extend if we tap the right technology. My Suggestion as follows. 1) We should look for towards CNG as the Fuel for future then crude oil. CNG can be produced in India from sewage treatment plant as well as processing Bio-degradable garbage. The Processing of this forms Bio-Gas thus can be converted to CNG thus saving Foreign Exchange and making Clean India Program more economical.

To check diversion,the best way is to have gas pipeline and oil pipeline with domestic and commercial connections and with Aadhar-enabled regulator to allow usage. alternatively,give incentives to those who use less of the subsidized oil or gas thirdly,we can convert the present gas cylinder into smart-cylinder with GPS-enabled like IP addresses of computers to know where exactly it is being used or we can programme gas cylinder with particular gas stove so that it works only with that stove

I do not see any reason to provide subsidy to rich person.In my opinion all subsidy including PDS food should be stopped.It is only increasing corruption in society.Instead direct subsidy amount to be transferred to the account of the actual poor of the society.
