What the defaults give
A cylinder costing ₹903 with a ₹200 subsidy is ₹703 net. At 1.3 months per cylinder that is ₹540.77 a month, ₹18.03 a day and ₹6.01 a meal.
Nine cylinders a year puts the annual spend at ₹6,327.
The arithmetic
Net price = cylinder price − subsidy
Monthly = net price ÷ months per cylinder
Daily = monthly ÷ 30
Yearly = net price × cylinders per year
The per-meal figure assumes 30 days and three meals a day, so it is the monthly cost divided by 90. Cooking three meals for a household on ₹540 a month works out to roughly ₹6 a meal, which is the number that makes LPG comparable with electricity or a wood stove.
Worked examples
₹703 net, 1.3 months → ₹18.03 a day, ₹540.77 a month
₹903 with no subsidy → ₹23.15 a day
₹451.50 net → ₹6.45 a day
₹1,806 net → ₹41.18 a day
₹100 subsidy → ₹20.59 a day
₹400 subsidy → ₹12.90 a day
0.65 months per cylinder → ₹36.05 a day
2.6 months per cylinder → ₹9.01 a day
Doubling the price quadruples the daily cost only if usage stays the same — here it does, because price and usage are separate inputs. Cutting consumption in half, by using the cylinder for 2.6 months instead of 1.3, halves the daily cost while leaving the annual figure untouched at ₹6,327.
Reading the two usage fields
Months per cylinder and cylinders per year are independent in this model, and they can disagree. Nine cylinders lasting 1.3 months each covers 11.7 months, not 12, so the yearly total is slightly under a full year of consumption. Picking one measure and staying consistent gives cleaner numbers: for budgeting, cylinders per year × net price is the reliable figure; for comparing against a monthly bill, months per cylinder is the useful one.
What changes the per-meal cost
Household size does most of the work. The same cylinder feeding four people produces more meals per rupee than one feeding two, even though the cylinder costs the same. Pressure cookers, lids and soaking pulses all cut gas use more effectively than turning the flame down.
Subsidy eligibility in India is tied to an Aadhaar-linked bank account and is credited after purchase, so the sticker price at the dealer is the full amount and the ₹200 arrives separately. Budget for the full price and treat the subsidy as a refund, not a discount at the counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an LPG cylinder cost per month?
At ₹903 minus a ₹200 subsidy and 1.3 months of use, ₹540.77 a month — about ₹18 a day.
How is the per-meal cost worked out?
The monthly figure divided by 90 meals, assuming three meals a day for 30 days. That gives ₹6.01 here.
Does the subsidy change the annual cost?
Yes, directly: ₹200 off each of nine cylinders saves ₹1,800 a year, taking the total from ₹8,127 to ₹6,327.
Why do the yearly and monthly figures not match exactly?
Months per cylinder and cylinders per year are separate inputs. Nine cylinders at 1.3 months covers 11.7 months, so the two calculations describe slightly different periods.
Is a cylinder cheaper than an induction stove?
Depends on local tariffs and how much you cook. The per-meal figure here is the number to compare against the electricity cost of the same meals.
