India's LPG connections for households more than doubled to 32.83 crore by Nov 2024, aided by a government scheme.

The number of LPG connections for household kitchens in India has more than doubled to 32.83 crore by November 2024, up from 14.52 crore in 2014, due in part to the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), which has provided 10.33 crore subsidized connections to poor families. Since its launch, the scheme has delivered about 222 crore LPG refills to beneficiaries. The length of operational natural gas pipelines has also increased from 15,340 km to 24,945 km.
