connections and the estimated number of households. The number of households has been
projected by PSU OMCs based on 2011 census data. Factors like increasing nuclearization
of families, migration of individuals/ families due to urbanization and reduction in average
size of households etc., impact the growth of number of households. Due to these factors,
the estimated no. of households through projection of 2011 census data may slightly differ
from the actual no. of households in a State/UT".

35.7% at LPG bottling plants, 15.6% at refineries and 2.6% at fractionators. Western
Region dominates other regions in terms of overall LPG tankage. This region has all the
four types of tankages. This region has a number of LPG import locations and refineries.
Majority of the fractionators are located in the Western region.

• LPG tankage at bottling plants is critical to ensure continuity of operation of a bottling

plant at its full capacity especially in respect of North-Eastern region. The tankage at
LPG bottling plants in all the regions varies from 4 to 7 days cover with All India figure
of 6 days’ cover. LPG tankage at all sources combined, varies from 9 days to 27 days
cover with an All-India average of 16 days’ cover.

11. LPG Waiting list

PPAC has removed LPG waiting list item from this report as there is no waiting list in
India due to following reasons:

• On demand on PAN India basis, OMCs are providing LPG connections across the
counter. Request for a new LPG connection is immediately registered in the system
by the concerned OMC Distributor and connection is duly issued after system driven
de-duplication checks.

• Customers also have the option of applying for a new LPG connection online with
online payment as well. Therefore, now a customer can avail a new LPG connection
without visiting the concerned LPG Distributorship.

• The PMUY scheme has covered around 10.33 crore poor women beneficiaries since
its launch in May 2016 which is more than the total number of beneficiaries covered
under State Government schemes and CSR funds of OMCs till 1.1.2025.

• Southern region dominates in respect of coverage of beneficiaries under State

sponsored schemes with around 1.16 crore customers covered mainly in the states of
Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, & Telangana. Only 108.1 lakhs PMUY connections
have been issued as on 1.1.2025 in Southern region, presumably because a large
number of BPL families were already covered through State sponsored schemes.

[Link] Marketing System (PMS) of LPG in India

• LPG marketing in India is carried out by public sector oil marketing companies (i.e.
IOCL, BPCL and HPCL) as well as by private parties under the Parallel Marketing
System (PMS). Under PMS, private parties can import LPG and market imported
LPG in the country at market determined rates. No subsidy is available from
Government for sales by PMS in the domestic segment.

• As per information received by PPAC from 105 parallel marketeers (PMs), they had
sold 174.4 TMT during the month of Dec 2024 and 1635.0 TMT during Apr’24-Dec’24.
This amounts to a market share of 6.6% for PMs in total LPG sales (PSU+PMs). Out
of the total LPG sold in the country, 83.7% was in the domestic segment, commercial
(9.4%), bulk segment (5.8%) and balance 1.1% in the transport segment. The sector
wise market share of PMS in total LPG sale (PSU+PMS) of that sector was around
1.0% in the Residential (domestic), commercial (13.8%), bulk segment (61.3%) and
79.5% in the transport segment during Apr’24-Dec’24.
