KOCHI: Union Petroleum
Minister Veerappa Moily on Saturday said there was no proposal before the
government to increase the number of subsidised LPG cylinders from the present
nine a year to 12. "We don't have
such a proposal before us", Moily, who arrived here in connection with the
formal commissioning of the Petronet LNG terminal at nearby Puthyvype by Prime
Minister Manmohan, told reporters here.
"Nine subsidised cylinders a year covers 90 per cent of the consumers. Only 10 per cent are left without subsidy", he said. People will appreciate the government stand, he said. On Thursday, Finance Minister P Chidambaram had said in Delhi that the government will "take a look" at the demand to raise the quota of subsidised LPG cylinders to 12 per household in a year from the current limit of nine.
