Economic Survey suggests reducing LPG subsidy
The pre-Budget Economic Survey 2015-16 tabled in the Parliament on Friday advocated the rationalising of LPG subsidy, by reducing the annual supply of below-market priced cooking gas to 10 cylinders per household. At present, all households are entitled to get 12 LPG cylinders, each with 14.2 kg, at a subsidised rate of ₹419.26, against the current market price of ₹575.
