Greater Noida: The government is considering increasing the quota of subsidised cooking gas (LPG) cylinders from nine to 12 per household in a year, Petroleum Minister M. Veerappa Moily said on Sunday.
“I have read in the newspapers about (Congress vice-president) Rahul Gandhi taking up the issue of increasing the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) cap with the prime minister. I am yet to get comments from the Congress vice-president or the prime minister,” he told reporters at the Petrotech 2014 conference here, on the national capital’s outskirts.
The minister said the final decision in the matter will be taken by the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA). (IANS)
