Give Up LPG Subsidy is a campaign that was launched in March 2015 by the Indian government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is aimed at motivating LPG users who are able to afford to pay the market price for LPG to voluntarily surrender their LPG subsidy.[1] As of 23 April 2016, 10 million people had voluntarily given up the subsidy.[2] The surrendered subsidy is being redistributed by the government in order to provide cooking gas connections to poor families in rural households free of cost.[3] Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Delhi and Tamil Nadu are the top five states to give up the subsidy.[4][5]
