Cooking Gas Subisdy

The Union Cabinet, chaired by PM Narendra Modi, has approved the extension of a targeted subsidy of Rs 300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 12 refills per year for the beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana for the financial year 2024-25.

Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan Wednesday took a jibe at an Odisha minister for not forgoing subsidy on gas cylinder for the sake of welfare of the poor and said that Naveen Patnaik's cabinet colleague SN Patro received Rs 1850 as subsidy under the cooking gas scheme this year.

The government is looking to eliminate subsidy on the domestic fuels, LPG and Kerosene, through small hikes.

Government has saved over Rs 21,000 crore in cooking gas LPG subisdy in the last two financial years as paying the dole directly into bank accounts of actual users helped eliminate duplicate connections as well as diversions, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said today.
