The government had last year asked state-run oil firms to raise prices every month to eliminate all the subsidies by March 2018. Since the implementation of the policy of monthly increases from July last year, subsidized LPG rates have gone up by Rs76.51 per cylinder. A 14.2 kg LPG cylinder was priced at Rs419.18 in June 2016. Every household is entitled to 12 cylinders of 14.2 kg each at subsidized rates in a year. Any requirement beyond that is to be purchased at market price.
