Govt takes back LPG price hike order after 'contrary' signal Govt takes back LPG price hike order after 'contrary' signal Every Household Is Entitled To 12 Cylinders Of 14.2-kg Each At Subsidised Rates In A Year. Any Requirement Beyond That Is To Be Purchased At Market Price. PTI | Updated on: 28 Dec 2017, 07:05:38 PM New Delhi: The government has withdrawn its decision to raise LPG prices by Rs 4 per cylinder every month as the move was seen contrary to its Ujjwala scheme of providing free cooking gas connections to the poor. The government had previously ordered public sector oil marketing companies to raise domestic cooking gas (LPG) prices by Rs 4 per cylinder every month beginning June 2016 with a view to eliminating subsidies.
