Why are LPG cylinder prices higher in Patna and Bihar?

This question often arises in the minds of consumers as to why the prices of gas cylinders are higher in Patna (Bihar) or the North-Eastern states as compared to Delhi or Mumbai. The main reason for this is geographical location and logistics. In Bihar and north-eastern states, transportation costs (Freight Charges) are high in transporting LPG from the refinery to the bottling plant and then to the distribution center. Additionally, local VAT and transport toll charges levied by state governments also increase the final retail price.

Mathematics of subsidy to the beneficiaries of Ujjwala scheme

of central government Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) Direct subsidy of ₹300 per cylinder on domestic LPG is transferred directly to their bank accounts (DBT) to poor families registered under DBT.

For example, if a 14.2 kg cylinder costs ₹942.00 for a typical consumer in Delhi, this cylinder effectively costs around ₹642.00 after the subsidy to Ujjwala beneficiaries. To continue availing subsidy benefits, it is mandatory for consumers to complete the e-KYC process of their LPG connection.
