New Delhi : There is no ban on release of new cooking gas connections, the petroleum ministry said Friday.
The clarification was in response to certain media reports that a ban has been put in place on release of new connections after the recent government decision to limit the LPG subsidy to six cylinders per annum per household effective Sep 14.
“New connection requests will be accepted by all LPG distributors, and the connections will be released on completion of KYC (Know Your Customer) formalities and de-duplication of the applicant across all the three oil companies to ensure that multiple connections are not released,” the ministry said in a release.
