LPG consumption amongst PMUY customers surge 23.2 pc despite price rise: IOC ANI | Updated: Mar 11, 2021 06:31 IST
New Delhi [India], March 11 (ANI): Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders consumption has improved amongst Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) customers despite the recent price rise in LPG prices, said Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) on Wednesday.
According to IOCL a surge of 23.2 per cent in LPG consumption was noted in the initial quarter of this fiscal, which was attributed to the three free LPG refills given to the PMUY beneficiaries.
IOCL noted that improvement in the overall LPG consumption has continued for the three-month period December 2020 to February 2021 and has registered a growth of 7.3 per cent for all domestic LPG customers (PMUY+non-PMUY).
