With a view to check burgeoning subsidy, the government decided to cap supply of subsidized LPG cylinders to six cylinders per year per household. Any requirement over and above the six subsidised bottles would have to be procured at market price. But after facing flak from the opposition, as well its allies, the government is considering raising the cap on supply of subsidized LPG cylinders. The matter is pending for discussion with the Finance Minister and the Prime Minister.
