The oil regulator, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), has proposed a new proposal called “LPG Interoperability.” Under this proposal, consumers will be able to change companies or dealers without changing their existing connections.

Why is this change necessary?

The PNGRB has stated that local distributors often face operational issues, causing inconvenience to consumers. In such a situation, if the cylinder price remains the same, customers should be free to choose their LPG company or dealer.

Attempts have been made before

In 2013, the then UPA government launched a pilot portability scheme in a few districts, which was expanded nationwide in 2014. However, at that time, the option was only to change dealers, not companies. Legally, a cylinder from a particular company could only be refilled by that company, so switching companies was impossible.

Now, changes have been made

The PNGRB is considering allowing company changes. They have sought suggestions from consumers, distributors, and civil society organizations to ensure timely refills and better service.

After receiving all comments, the regulatory board will formulate rules and guidelines, and then a date will be set for nationwide implementation.

LPG Price in India is determined by the state-run oil companies and is revised on a monthly basis. Almost all the household in India has a LPG connection and it is mainly used for cooking purpose.

An increase in LPG prices will affect the common man in general as they have to bear the brunt of the rising fuel prices in the current market scenario. The best part of it is the government of India is currently providing subsidy on the sale of domestic LPG cylinders to the consumers.

The subsidy amount is directly credited to the individuals bank account after the purchase of the cylinder. The subsidy amount varies every month and is dependent on the changes in the average international benchmark LPG prices added with the foreign exchange rate.

Limit on Domestic LPG cylinders

The Indian households are allowed to purchase up to 12 domestic LPG cylinders per year at subsidized rates.
