LPG Cylinder Subsidy: Narendra Modi government has given a big gift to crores of people of the country before Navratri. The government has increased the amount of subsidy in the Ujjwala Gas Scheme.

Big gift from PM Narendra Modi
Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur gave information about the decisions in a press conference after the cabinet meeting.

Recently, on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, the prices of gas cylinders were reduced. With a discount of Rs 200, the price of LPG cylinder was reduced from Rs 1100 to Rs 900. Whereas due to the subsidy of Rs 200 for the beneficiaries of Ujjwala scheme, the same cylinder used to cost Rs 700.

Anurag Thakur further wrote in the post, ‘Today the Union Cabinet under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Modi ji has taken a welcome decision to give a subsidy of Rs 300 instead of Rs 200 to the beneficiary mothers and sisters of our Ujjwala (PM Ujjwala Yojana). This means that till now the LPG cylinder which was available for Rs 700, will now be available to the beneficiaries of Ujjwala scheme for Rs 600. Heartfelt gratitude to Modi ji for this decision taken in the interest of mother power before the upcoming festivals.
