You should note that, there are two types of LPG connections - subsidized and non-subsidized. The only difference between these two are that the former is cheaper and is given to only those who have linked their connection with their Aadhaar, while the latter is expensive and is sold to those who have not linked the same to the 12-digit biometric card. Once applied for a new LPG connection, you will start receiving the delivery within a few days time.
