LPG Subsidy News: With cooking gas prices remaining a concern for households, the Central Government is providing financial relief to eligible beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY). Under the scheme, eligible consumers receive a subsidy of ₹300 for every LPG cylinder refill, which is transferred directly to their bank accounts.
Earlier, the subsidy amount was ₹200 per cylinder, which was subsequently increased to ₹300. The government is also providing additional financial support of ₹325.24 per cylinder to help reduce the impact of higher LPG prices.
According to the figures provided, Ujjwala beneficiaries pay ₹642 for a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder, against its actual cost of ₹1,267.24.

The ₹300 subsidy is available exclusively to registered beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.
Under this arrangement, eligible beneficiaries receive ₹300 for each cylinder refill, for a maximum of 12 refills in a year.
