While the average international price of LPG rose by 63 per cent from $385/MT in July 2023 to $629/MT in February 2025, the effective price for PMUY consumers for domestic LPG was reduced by 44 per cent from Rs 903 in August 2023 to Rs 503 in February 2025, Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi told the Lok Sabha in a written reply.
India imports about 60 per cent of the domestic LPG consumed. Price of LPG in the country is linked to its price in the international market.
The retail selling price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder is currently Rs 803 in Delhi. After a targeted subsidy of Rs 300/cylinder to PMUY consumers, the Centre is providing 14.2 kg LPG cylinders at an effective price of Rs 503 per cylinder (in Delhi). This is available to more than 10.33 crore Ujjwala beneficiaries, across the country.
The PMUY was launched in May 2016 with the objective of providing a deposit-free LPG connection to adult women from poor households across the country.
