A huge amount of Govt. money is spent on subsidy of petroleum products. The Govt. had to spend Rs. 1,39,869 crore on account of subsidy on petroleum products in the year 2013-14. As, the indigenous availability of crude Oil and LPG is limited, these are imported in huge quantities to fulfill the demand of the country.  As Govt. provides domestic LPG and PDS Kerosene on subsidised price, this results in huge subsidy burden on Govt. Due to presence of dual pricing(subsidized and non-subsidized) in LPG and SKO, there is a diversion of subsidized LPG and Kerosene into commercial usage. Although Govt. has taken several initiatives to reduce this diversion of subsidized LPG and PDS Kerosene, public participation is solicited to suggest ways for reducing diversion in LPG and PDS Kerosene.

You are invited to suggest ideas to reduce diversion and the subsidy burden on account of LPG and Kerosene.

IN INDIA ONLY 20 PERCENT OF THE FUEL ARE EXTRACTED FROM THE OWN COUNTRY. THE REST 80 PERCENT ARE EXPORTED FROM OTHER. NOWADAYS COUNTRIES LIKE USA AND AFRICA ARE USING ETHANOL INSTEAD OF PETROL. BECAUSE ETHANOL IS A BEST FUEL AND IS PRODUCED FROM AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT NAMED MOLASSES

With crude and gas prices falling in international markets Govt. better remove the subsidy elements from these two products and rationalise duties and taxes on other fuels immediately. LPG in any case doesn't require to be subsidised. The Direct Benefit Transfer of LPG (DBTL) or PAHAL is causing drain to exchequer due to unproductive work involved. The only reason for diversion of domestic LPG cylinders is due to dual pricing. Please do away with subsidy on cooking gas.

NAMO - Appreciate your support on the Kochi institute has filed for a US patent of biofuel from coconut oil “The low carbon residue, sulphur content and the total contaminant obviously make the coconut biofuel eco-friendly - The centre collaborated with the automobile engineering department of the SCMS Engineering College, Kochi, for the test run in a Matador diesel engine. The test run showed the technical specifications such as torque and power similar to the efficiency of diesel fuel. It offered a higher mileage of 22.5 km/L than 16 km/L of diesel. KUDOS for the support

NAMO- With the increase in the petrol and Diesel prices in TELANGANA we are all still charged 2 rupees EXTRA per litre for VAT which was increased due to the fall in Oil prices- this needs to be corrected; As the rise and fall of prices monitored by central government and state govt looks not benefitial to a common TAX PAYER ----- Price set by central govt. is not same in all the states and price set by the state govt is not strictly followed all accross the state. Each petrol pump charges with a diference of 40 to 50 paise per litre - which is an open loot from a common man and TAX PAYERS ;; Please justify our taes paid and please monitor the divided states of TELANGANA and ANDHRA save the TAX PAYERS

Restricting the LPG subsidy to only BPL families and that too through bank accounts. BPL cards to be linked to bank accounts opened under Pradhan Mantri Jan dhan Yogna. Making LPG freely available at market prices.

A few ideas: 1) Give Incentives for bio gas / gas from waste / gobar gas plants 2) Remove subsidy for all except for BPL families - make Aadhar card as the base for all systems. 3) Income tax benefits or congratulatory certificates along with "LPG Usage Champions" Stickers on their doors signed by Minister/Petroleum secretary for people who use less than the 12 subsidised cylinders per year. 4) Vehicles retrofitted withLPG tank be refused fuel at LPG pumps
