Market Demand of LPG Cylinders

Government launched the “Give Up” subsidy campaign in March 2015 to reduce their expenses, regulate the market and help poor families. In 2019, Govt. took a decision to sell it’s entire 53.29 percent stake in BPCL to private players. This clearly shows that the government is making efforts to further open up the market for private players. In the near future, it is anticipated that the government will either fully remove the subsidy or make this industry a level playing field for everyone. This gives an opportunity to all the private players to start planning their entry in this regulated market.
