Analysis of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana

                                 Analysis of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana



Today's blog is based on "Analysis of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana". Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana was launched by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on 1 May 2016 to distribute 50 million LPG connections to women of BPL families. 

A budgetary allocation of ₹800 billion was made for the scheme. In the first year of its launch, the connections distributed were 22 million against the target of 15 million. As of 23 October 2017, 30 million connections were distributed, 44% of which were given to families belonging to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The number crossed 58 million by December 2018. In the 2018 Union Budget of India, its scope was widened to include 80 million poor households. 21,000 awareness camps were conducted by oil marketing companies. 



The scheme led to an increase in LPG consumption by 56% in 2019 as compared to 2014. However, while access to LPG gas stoves and cylinders has increased in the scheme, the use of LPG cylinders remains low. Providing access to LPG across India by 2020 is a major achievement. It is not an energy issue, it is an economic issue, it is a social issue," IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said at a conference here. 
So far, about 7.4 crore such connections have been given. The target is to give 8 crore connections by 2020.

Since the BJP government came to power in 2014, the number of LPG connections in the country has doubled to more than 26 crores, covering about 90 percent of the population. The target is to provide LPG connection, which is a clean, convenient and energy-efficient source for cooking, to all households by 2020-21. While the latest data show ambient air pollution levels are still dangerously high in most parts of the world, they also show some positive progress. Countries are taking measures to tackle and reduce air pollution from particulate matter. For example, in just two years, India's Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana scheme has provided some 37 million women living below the poverty line with free LPG connections to support them to switch to clean household energy use," the WHO report had said.

How to apply??

  • A woman of the BPL household may apply for a new LPG connection (in the prescribed format) to the nearest LPG distributor.

  • While submitting the application form, the woman needs to submit a detailed address, Jandhan Bank Account and Aadhar number of all members of the household.

  • The connection will be issued by the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to the eligible beneficiaries after processing the application.

  • In case the consumer opts for EMI, the EMI amount will be adjusted against the subsidy amount due to the consumer on each refill.
