Centre plans a new scheme for cooking gas cylinders to benefit consumers.

The Central government might come up with new changes in regards to the LPG Cylinders Subsidy. As per the reports, the final decision is yet to come and the government is still is in discussions. However, an internal government survey has suggested that customers are willing to pay up to Rs 1000 for the refiling of a cooking gas cylinder. The average price has already crossed INR 900, and if it is true, the price could move further upwards in the upcoming days.

According to sources in a Zee report, the government is currently discussing two proposals. The first option is to sell cylinders to consumers without any kind of subsidy. But, the other option makes space for subsidies, though only for selected consumers.

Till the time of publishing this news, nothing has been officially clarified by the government yet. But the reports have suggested that the government is more likely to put a cap on subsidies. For example, families with a family income of Rs 10 lakh or more won’t be able to apply subsidies. This will however help in directing the subsidies towards the ones who actually require and need assistance.
