## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a) to  (d)  Details  regarding  consumption/use of quantity  of LPG in Indian households are reported  to  the  Government  by  Public  Sector  Oil  Marketing  Companies.  Consumption  of domestic LPG by households depends on several factors like food habits, household size, cooking habits, price, availability of alternate fuels etc. Per capita consumption of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries has been consistently rising and has increased from 3.01 refills in 2019-20 to 3.68 in 2021-22.

Government has taken several  steps to  encourage  consumption  of  LPG  by  PMUY beneficiaries, which include subsidy of Rs. 200/- per 14.2 Kg refill upto 12 refills/year for PMUY beneficiaries for year 2022-23, option of 5 Kg Double Bottle Connection (DBC), swap option from 14.2 Kg to 5 Kg, upto 3 free refills to PMUY beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package from April to December 2020 etc.

State/UT and Year-wise details of PMUY beneficiaries who have taken one, two  and three  or  more  refills  (including  installation  refilled)  during  the  last  three  years  are  at Annexure .
