The Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural Gas Shri Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply today that currently, some private companies are supplying LPG to domestic consumers also under the “parallel marketing” system.
OMCs aim to increase the National LPG coverage to 75 %, with minimum 60 % coverage at State level and at least one distributor in each block. To increase the penetration in rural and backward areas, Oil Marketing Companies(OMCs) are continuously appointing new LPG distributors and more than 97 % of blocks are being catered by at least one LPG distributorship.
Government has allowed the sale of 5 Kg LPG cylinders with / without Domestic Pressure Regulator (DPR) through Retail Outlets of Public Sector Oil Marketing companies (OMCs) which are accessible to all and are open for longer hours. Subsequently, sale of 5 Kg Free Trade LPG(FTL) cylinder has been extended to LPG distributorship points and Kirana /General stores etc also for the convenience of the target consumers. As on 31.10.2015, the scheme is under operation from 261 retail outlets, 484 distributorship points and 194 Kirana/general stores, on industry basis.
