State to subsidise gas cylinders for 1.2m households

Gas cylinders

Over one million households will benefit from a government programme that is aimed at increasing the usage of cooking gas. The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum will pay the initial amount of the purchase price for cooking gas cylinders on behalf of households who will then pay the outstanding amount over a period of time. The Ministry plans to distribute 1.2 million cooking gas cylinders to different households across urban and rural areas.

Other than the subsidy, households will also get adequate time to pay the balance, which will be staggered. The subsidy will only cover six kilogramme gas cylinders.
