## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI SURESH GOPI)

- (a): Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) was launched in May, 2016 with an objective to  provide  deposit  free  LPG  connection  to  adult  women  from  poor  households  across  the country.  As  on  01.12.2025,  there  were  about  10.35  crore  PMUY  connections  across  the country.

Government has recently approved the release of 25 lakh additional LPG connections under PMUY during FY 2025-26.

State/UT-wise,  details  of  number  of  PMUY  connection s during  the  last  five  years  are  at Annexure- A.

- (b) : State/UT-wise, details of number of LPG connections released under PMUY during the last five years are at Annexure- B .
- (c):  Refill  Consumption rates of PMUY beneficiaries during the last five years in terms of number of 14.2 Kg refills taken per year per household are as follows:

| FY                    |   Per Connection consumption (in terms of 14.2 Kg refills/consumer/Year) |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2021-22               |                                                                     3.68 |
| 2022-23               |                                                                     3.71 |

State-wise  and  Year-wise,  per  connection  refill  consumption  of  PMUY  Beneficiaries  (in terms of 14.2 Kg LPG refills) during last five years is at Annexure - C .

(d): During 2024-25, around 86% of PMUY beneficiaries took at least one refill. State/UTwise  details  of  PMUY  consumers  who  have  not  taken  any  refill  or  taken  only  one  refill during last three years are at Annexure-D.

A  comprehensive  third-party  evaluation  was  conducted  by  Research  and  Development Initiative  (RDI).  This  evaluation  alongwith  various  other  independent  studies  and  reports have shown that PMUY scheme has had a significant positive impact on the lives of rural households, especially women and families in rural and remote areas.

- (e):  State/UT-wise,  numbers  of  customers  who  have  opted  out  of  LPG  subsidy  as  on  the beginning of the last five financial years are provided in Annexure-E .
- (f):  India  imports about 60% of its LPG requirement and accordingly prices of LPG in the country  are  linked  to  its  prices  in  the  international  market.  While  the  average  Saudi  CP (international benchmark for LPG pricing) rose by 21% (from US$ 385/MT in July 2023 to US$ 466/MT in November 2025), the prices of domestic LPG were reduced by about 22% (from Rs. 1103 in August 2023 to Rs. 853 in November 2025).

To make LPG more affordable to PMUY consumers and ensure sustained usage of LPG by them, in May 2022 Government started a targeted subsidy of Rs.200/- per 14.2 kg cylinder (and proportionately pro-rated for 5 Kg connections) to the PMUY consumers. LPG prices were reduced by Rs. 200 in August, 2023 and Rs. 100 in March, 2024 for all domestic LPG consumers. In October 2023, Government increased the targeted subsidy to Rs.300 per 14.2 kg cylinder (and proportionately pro-rated for 5 Kg connections). For FY 2025-26, Government is providing targeted subsidy of Rs.300/- per 14.2 kg cylinder for upto 9 refills of 14.2 Kg cylinder (and proportionately pro-rated for 5 Kg connections) to the PMUY consumers. The retail selling price of a 14.2 Kg domestic LPG cylinder is currently Rs. 853 in Delhi. After a targeted subsidy of Rs. 300/cylinder to PMUY consumers, Government of India is providing 14.2 Kg LPG cylinders at an effective price of Rs.553 per cylinder (in Delhi). For PMUY consumers, effective price for domestic LPG has been reduced by about 39% (from Rs. 903 in August 2023 to Rs. 553 in November 2025). During the period 2020-21 to 2022-23, 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  in  retail  prices,  due  to  which  the  Oil  Marketing  Companies  (OMCs) suffered  significant  losses.  To  compensate  the  OMCs  for  these  losses,  Government  paid  a one-time compensation of Rs. 22,000 crore to OMCs in FY 2022-23. The international prices of LPG again went up during 2024-25 and continue to remain high. However, to insulate consumers from fluctuations in international LPG prices, the increase in cost was not passed on to consumers of domestic LPG which led to significant losses for the three OMCs. Despite these losses, the Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies have ensured continuous supplies of domestic LPG in the country at affordable prices. To compensate the OMCs for these losses,  Government  has  recently  approved  a  compensation  of  Rs.  30,000 crore to the OMCs. As  a  result  of  various  steps  taken  by  Government  to  improve  access  and  affordability  of domestic LPG for PMUY consumers, per connection consumption of PMUY beneficiaries (in terms of no. of 14.2 kg LPG cylinder refills taken per year) has increased from 3.68 in FY

2021-22 to 4.47 in FY 2024-25.
