For a developing economy, subsidy helps an individual by providing support and cushioning in buying important commodities like cooking gas.
Cooking gas is a costly commodity in India because India is the net importer of Gas therefore, the government needs to make this affordable.
Earlier people used to collect wood or charcoal and use this as a cooking fuel. This leads to environmental loss, fire incidents at home, and most importantly respiratory problems.
With LPG subsidy, the people of India were able to make the transition from alternative cooking fuel to mainstream fuel like LPG Gas.
The Central Government and State government were able to provide various subsidy schemes to the citizen of India and improve the standards of Living.
Today, the latest data shows that the LPG Subscription has risen to 256 million households from 150 million just a decade ago.
Now, most of the villages are covered under the LPG supply chain with few more areas left, and with the trajectory, the government is penetrating deep into the village and adding them under the LPG umbrella.
