The Modi Cabinet has approved a substantial Rs. 200 price reduction for LPG cylinders under the Ujjwala scheme.
Ujjwala Scheme's Impact
The Ujjwala scheme aims to bring clean cooking fuel to millions of households. The extra Rs. 200 subsidy per cylinder will lead to noticeable reductions in domestic LPG prices.
Raksha Bandhan Surprise
The official announcement of the LPG cylinder price cut is expected to coincide with the celebration of Raksha Bandhan.
Previous Support
This decision follows a subsidy of Rs. 200 per 14.2 kg cylinder granted in March, benefiting recipients of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY).
CCEA's Contribution
The Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) played a role in granting the subsidy, aiming to provide clean cooking fuel to rural households.
A Helping Hand
The government's efforts continue to ensure clean cooking fuel reaches millions of beneficiaries across India.
Affordable Cooking Gas
With these initiatives, the government strives to make cooking gas more affordable for everyone.
