      E PMUY connections are provided only to households identified under PMAY-G. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Explanation:  

      • PMUY launched in 2016, later expanded to 8 crore connections (achieved in 2019).  
      • It is under MoPNG , not MNRE.  
      • Subsidy is not universal ₹500/refill; refill subsidies have been provided episodically (COVID, 2022).  
      • Target is LPG access, not tied directly to NDC year 2030.  
      • Eligibility is broader than just PMAY-G.
