The government is mulling another round of cooking gas subsidies under the Ujjwala Yojana scheme even as it keenly monitors inflationary pressures on the economy. The scheme offers cheap LPG to women of BPL households.
“The possibility of another round of subsidy for Ujjwala beneficiaries cannot be ruled out. A call would be taken on the amount and timing of its rollout depending on how global and domestic factors play out,” officials said.
Sources indicated that the government is closely monitoring the price situation as lower than normal monsoon is likely to result in the price rise of food grains.
