Indian Oil is the country's largest fuel retailer that supplies LPG under brand Indane.
Currently, LPG consumers in the country have to purchase the fuel at market prices. The government subsidises 12 cylinders of 14.2 kg each per household in a year by providing the subsidy amount directly in the bank accounts of users. This subsidy amount depends on changes in the average international benchmark LPG rate and foreign exchange rate.
