How are LPG prices fixed?

LPG prices are based on the ‘Import Parity Price’ (IPP). This includes international prices, dollar-rupaya exchange rates, freight charge, tax and logistics costs. There is a slight difference in prices due to tax and transportation costs in different states. Under the Ujjwala scheme of the government, eligible consumers get subsidy, which directly transfer to their bank account. This subsidy reduces actual expenses to a great extent.
