FWIW, in Taiwan I pay 700 - 800 New Taiwan Dollars (net) for a 15 kg
cylinder. At the current exchange rate, that's around 1600 to 1850
Rupees. In Taiwan there is no subsidy, but no heavy tax either
AFAIK, so I imagine the unsubsidised price would be similar in
India, disregarding differences in distribution costs (which I
imagine are higher in India--bad roads, greater distances, though
offset by lower wages). <br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Stovers:
This is more about LPG subsidies in India (costing millions upon millions) while narry a cent is spent on solving the problem at the source.
Sujatha mentions subsidies falling from the sky. To someone who is ideologically possessed, subsidies do indeed descend from the sky, as do the rainbows and unicorns.
I was surprised by the difference in the price depending on where you are. That surely leads to large trucks shipping things around for resale? In Senegal, all the small cheap cylinders left the country on gigantic trucks to make money in neighbouring states.

Populist policies - “subsidies don’t fall from the sky” - how will this sustain? - nobody is asking this question right? And corporates who can fund the sector to actually “solve” the problem - are unable to or refuse to understand the realities - and remain influenced by populist speeches and lawless adventurers. :(:(

Bad news for Indian middle-class as as the Centre’s Modi government has decided to increased the price of LPG cylinder for a second time this month.
A subsidised 14.2 kg LPG cylinder is now sold at Rs 507.42 in the national capital, witnessing a hike of Rs 2.08.
The revised rates for an LPG cylinder in Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai are Rs 971.50, Rs 913.50 and Rs 960.00 respectively.<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fm.sm.progressingindia.com%2Fwiz%2Findex.php%2Fcampaigns%2Fwr699q860l121%2Ftrack-url%2Fow726z3o6j893%2F9bfe6bd0e14d1ac72c9e8e82517626c801872623&data=02%7C01%7C%7C71307f63b88e423cf4ab08d64f624845%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636783680862643917&sdata=%2FQn0DDO29JtpnvTgtnVsxPFNJ0ASThHGaxq7MiEtsPo%3D&reserved=0"><https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fm.sm.progressingindia.com%2Fwiz%2Findex.php%2Fcampaigns%2Fwr699q860l121%2Ftrack-url%2Fow726z3o6j893%2F9bfe6bd0e14d1ac72c9e8e82517626c801872623&data=02%7C01%7C%7C71307f63b88e423cf4ab08d64f624845%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636783680862643917&sdata=%2FQn0DDO29JtpnvTgtnVsxPFNJ0ASThHGaxq7MiEtsPo%3D&reserved=0></a>
