LPG cylinder prices slashed by Rs 100 for Ujjwala Beneficiaries

Beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme will now enjoy a Rs 100 decrease in LPG cylinder price. The new price is set at Rs 600.

LPG Gas Cylinder Price Cut for PMUY Beneficiaries: Union minister Anurag Thakur informed on Wednesday that the Union Government has raised the subsidy amount for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries from Rs 200 to Rs 300 per LPG cylinder. He informed this during a briefing on Cabinet decisions. Earlier, with a subsidy of Rs 200, the price of a subsidized LPG cylinder was Rs 703. Now, with the subsidy being further increased by another Rs 100, the price for the subsidized LPG cylinder under the Ujjwala scheme would come down to Rs 603.

In a related development earlier this year, in August, the price of LPG cylinders for domestic use was reduced by Rs 200 per cylinder for all users. However, Ujjwala beneficiaries received a more substantial reduction of Rs 400 per cylinder at that time.
