Petroleum Minister Dr. Veerappa Moily today approved a proposal for sharing increased LPG Connection Security Deposit on 50:50 basis between the Govt. of NCT of Delhi (GNCTD) and CSR funds of the Major Oil PSUs for new LPG connections under Kerosene Free Delhi Scheme to BPL/AAY families. The security deposit was recently increased from Rs 1400 against LPG cylinder pressure regulator to Rs 1600.

The Chief Minister of Delhi Smt.
