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.

To stop LPG diversion to non-cooking activities, the sale of LPG based water heaters/geysers must be taxed heavily/banned. This will save a lot of subsidized cylinders from being diverted to water heating purpose.

Incremental price increases eg. Rs. 5 a month for subsidized LPG cylinder shall be undertaken so as to minimise the outgo from the government on account of subsidy. This model has worked well in case of HSD as people get time to adjust to higher prices.

The no. of subsidized LPG cylinders may be reduced basis need of each family eg. a family of four does not need 12 subsidized cylinders a year. This may be implemented by providing people an option to give up subsidy partially eg. people should be able to opt for 6/9 subsidized cylinders instead of 12. This will improve participation of people in giving up subsidised cylinders voluntarily as they need not opt for giving up the entire subsidy.

Cost of Pipeline Gas to be reduced. Actually, Pipeline Connection is too costly. Secondly, the cost of Gas per KG is much more than that of LPG, Thirdly Consumption per hour of Pipe Gas is more than LPG as aperture of nozzle is wider in case of Pipeline gas, fourthly - Conversion of Cooking Range system from LPG to Gas is adding cost to the consumer. Under the circumstances, the people are reluctant for the Pipeline connection. i.e. fixed and variable cost are more for the consumer in pipeline
