## ANSWER

## पेोलयम और ाक ृतक गैस मंालय म राय मंी ( ी रामे वर तेल )

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

- (a) & (b): India imports more than 60% of its domestic LPG consumption. Prices of LPG in the  country  are  linked  to  its  price  in  the  international  market.  However,  for  domestic  LPG, Government continues  to  modulate  the  effective  price  to  consumer.  Further,  Government  has started a subsidy scheme exclusively for poor households where the subsidy is credited to the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries. W.e.f. 21st May, 2022, Government is giving a targeted subsidy  of  Rs.  200  per  14.2  Kg  cylinder  for  Pradhan  Mantri  Ujjwala  Yojana  (PMUY) beneficiaries for upto 12 refills a year for years 2022-23 and 2023-24.

During the period 2020-21 to 2022-23, the average Saudi CP (international benchmark for LPG pricing) went up from $415 per MT to $712 per MT.  However, the increase in international prices  was  not  fully  passed  on  in  retail  prices,  due  to  which  the  Oil  Marketing  Companies (OMCs) suffered under recoveries of approximately Rs. 28,000 crore on sale of domestic LPG. To compensate this, the Government approved a one-time compensation of Rs. 22,000 crore to OMCs in FY 2022-23.  During Covid pandemic, Government also provided about 14.17 Crore free  LPG  refills  to  PMUY  households  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Gareeb  Kalyan  Package  during 2020.

Price of domestic LPG (at Delhi) was Rs. 1053 w.e.f. 6 th July 2022 and is Rs. 1103 in August 2023. For PMUY consumers effective price is Rs. 903 after a targeted subsidy of Rs. 200 per cylinder.
