Himachal Grihini Suvidha Yojana 2026 Application Form PDF Download Online at food.hp.nic.in

Himachal Pradesh government's Grihini Suvidha Yojana 2026 continues to help families get domestic LPG connections without paying any connection charge. Families that are not covered under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) can apply through the official department website food.hp.gov.in. The Grihini Suvidha Yojana application form and e-KYC form are available in PDF format on the official website, ready to download. The same forms are also accepted at the LPG gas agencies in the state.

Under Mukhyamantri Grihini Suvidha Yojana, the HP government covers the LPG connection cost and security deposit of around Rs. 1,600, and supports the first cylinder. The scheme was announced in the Himachal Pradesh Budget 2018-19 and expanded in the Budget 2022-23. It helps move the state toward a smoke-free target and lower the harmful effect of wood smoke on women's health.

In 2026, the scheme stays open for rural and low-income families of Himachal Pradesh, including BPL, SC, ST and APL families whose annual family income is less than Rs. 1.5 lakh. Families with no existing LPG connection and not covered under PMUY are the main target. The connection is released in the name of the adult woman of the family.

Grihini Suvidha Yojana Eligibility

The state government has kept the eligibility conditions simple, so most poor and low-income families of Himachal Pradesh can get the benefit:

• The applicant must be a permanent resident of Himachal Pradesh, and the family should have a ration card or domicile certificate of the state.
• The family should not already have an LPG connection in the name of any member of the household.
• The family should not be covered under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY). This scheme fills the gap for families missed by PMUY.
• The family either holds a BPL certificate or has an annual income below Rs. 1.5 lakh. The connection is issued in the name of the adult woman of the family, whose age should be at least 18 years.

Benefits of Grihini Suvidha Yojana in Himachal Pradesh

The benefits under HP Grihini Suvidha Yojana are as under:

• Free LPG connection: The government covers the connection cost and the LPG security deposit of about Rs. 1,600 for the eligible family.
• Cylinder support: The first cylinder gets support, and a refill subsidy of around Rs. 300 per refill is given to eligible families as per the current rules of the state.
• Health gain: With LPG, households use less wood and cow dung cakes, which keeps smoke away and makes cooking easier and healthier for women.

Grihini Suvidha Yojana in HP Budget 2022-23

Grihini Suvidha Yojana was first announced in the Himachal Pradesh Budget 2018-19 and has been given support every year since then. In the Budget 2022-23, the state government gave the scheme a bigger shape. The budget speech said that each beneficiary will get three free cylinders including the cylinder received at the time of connection, and an outlay of Rs. 65 crore was fixed for the year, which was about Rs. 45 crore more than the previous year.

The budget speech said: "Our Government had started the 'Grihini Suvidha Yojana' by expanding the scope of 'Ujjwala Yojana'. We have a smoke-free State with both these schemes. We are happy to announce that now each beneficiary will get three free cylinders including the cylinder received at the time of connection."

The scheme is continued in the state as a regular part of the LPG programme. Poor and low-income families without LPG get a connection, and cylinder support keeps the home clean and smoke-free.
