Almost all the households in India have an LPG connection and it is mainly used for cooking purposes. An increase in LPG prices will affect the common man in general as they have to bear the brunt of the rising fuel prices in the current market scenario.
In September this year, the government had also eliminated the subsidy being provided on domestic cooking gas taking the name of corona pandemic. By this the government is planning to make Rs. 20,000 crore in FY21.
