"The government is fulfilling its promise and three subsidised cylinders to each domestic connection will be provided as per the decision," Gehlot told reporters here.

He was responding to a question on the alleged delay by oil companies in releasing three subsidised cylinders.

He said the state government would bear additional Rs 800 crore annually to provide subsidy on three cylinders per connection.

The decision of providing subsidy was taken after Congress announced that the cap on subsidized LPG cylinders will be increased from six to nine in the states ruled by the party.

The Union government has announced an annual six-cylinder cap on subsidized LPG cylinders for domestic consumers.
