Centre cuts PMUY subsidised cylinder quota Domestic LPG cylinder prices remain in focus after a recent price hike and a fresh government decision to reduce the number of subsidised cooking gas cylinders available under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY). Oil marketing companies increased the price of a 14.2-kg household cooking gas cylinder by ₹29 earlier this week. The Centre has cut the annual subsidised cylinder entitlement for PMUY beneficiaries from nine cylinders to four, saying the move aligns with average household consumption levels. The government on Monday reduced the number of subsidised LPG cylinders available annually to PMUY beneficiaries from nine to four. Under the scheme launched in May 2016, eligible households initially received subsidies on up to 12 cylinders a year. The quota was reduced to nine cylinders last year and has now been cut further to four.

Speaking at a media briefing, Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry Additional Secretary Praveen Mal Khanooja said the revised entitlement broadly reflects the average annual consumption pattern of PMUY households. The government continues to provide a targeted subsidy of ₹300 per 14.2-kg cylinder to PMUY beneficiaries. The subsidy is credited directly to beneficiaries' bank accounts after every refill purchase. LPG price increased by ₹29 on June 7 Oil marketing companies increased the price of domestic LPG cylinders by ₹29 on June 7. The latest revision follows another increase earlier this year, taking the cumulative rise in Delhi to ₹89 over the past three months. After the latest hike, the retail price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has reached ₹942. For PMUY beneficiaries, the effective cost after the ₹300 subsidy works out to ₹642 per cylinder.

According to Khanooja, beneficiaries effectively receive support of around ₹1,000 per cylinder when compared with the government's estimated supply cost of nearly ₹1,600 per cylinder. Defending the latest price increase, he said the ₹29 revision translates to about Re 1 per day and around 20 paise per day for each member of a five-member household.
