This increase will be applicable to all consumers i.e. Ujjwala Yojana and non-Ujjwala. Let us tell you that under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), free gas connections are given to poor women so that they can get clean cooking fuel i.e. LPG. The benefit of this scheme is given to poor women of rural areas. Now according to the new prices, both Ujjwala Yojana and other consumers will have to pay Rs 50 more for the gas cylinder.

Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has said that the price of LPG cylinder will be increased by Rs 50. For the beneficiaries of Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), the price of gas cylinder will now increase from Rs 500 to Rs 550, while other consumers will now have to pay Rs 853 instead of Rs 803. The Union Minister said that this decision is not permanent and it will be reviewed every 2 to 3 weeks. Along with this, he also made it clear that the burden of increased excise duty on petrol and diesel will not be put on the common people. This increase has been made to compensate for the loss of Rs 43,000 crore incurred by the oil companies in selling gas to them.
