After 2002, domestic LPG in India came under regulation and it was mainly introduced as a pollution free cooking duel which brought the ‘kitchen revolution in India. So India wanted to expand its use by incentivizing people towards its consumption by providing subsidy on LPG and this resulted in continuous increase in the number of consumers and total volume of subside. The government needs to introduce modified subsidy policy that targets the really needy section of population, thus obviating its coverage extended to wealthy segment in the society.- Reproduced
