The government has raised the subsidy amount for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries from ₹200 to ₹300 per LPG cylinder, Union Minister Anurag Thakur announced during a briefing on Cabinet decisions on Wednesday.
Ujjwala beneficiaries currently pay ₹703 per 14.2-kg cylinder as against the market price of ₹903. After the decision of the Union Cabinet, they will now pay ₹603.
The decision comes just a month after the Centre reduced the price of cylinders for domestic cooking gas by ₹200 for all consumers.
