Now gas cylinder will be available for only ₹ 500, government gave relief of ₹ 450 Gas Cylinder Price
LPG Gas Cylinder Price: Rising prices of LPG cylinders in the country have always been a cause of concern for the general public.Changes in the prices of cylinders every month directly affect the family's budget.In such a situation, the Central Government has announced a big cut in the prices of LPG cylinder while presenting the budget.Now consumers will get a discount of ₹ 450 on the cylinder.For this, the government has made a provision of ₹ 1200 crore.This relief will prove to be very important especially for the common people and the beneficiaries of the Prime Minister Ujjwala Yojana.
Currently LPG cylinder prices
Currently, the prices of LPG gas cylinders vary according to the states.For example, the price of a domestic cylinder in Bihar is around ₹ 950.At the same time, this price may be slightly different in states like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.Domestic gas cylinders across the country range from an average ₹ 900 to ₹ 1000.Due to such a high price, the economic burden on poor and middle class families was increasing.
Subsidies and discounts from the government
The government has not only cut the prices of cylinders, but has also announced direct subsidy to consumers.As per the plan, a subsidy of ₹ 300 will be transferred to the consumers' bank account.For example, if the price of the cylinder in an area is ₹ 950 and the government gets a discount of ₹ 450, then the consumer will get only around ₹ 500.This will reduce the cost of household.
New potential price of LPG gas cylinder
Experts estimate that the new price of LPG cylinders will be between ₹ 500 to ₹ 600 after the discount and subsidy is implemented.This price will be different according to the states.Earlier, where consumers had to spend from 900 to 1000 rupees to buy cylinders, now this expenditure will be about half.This will increase the monthly savings of families.
Ujjwala scheme beneficiaries benefit
Under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, crores of poor families were given free gas connections.Now these families will get more relief from this decision of the government.Women in rural areas previously used wood, coal or cow dung stove, which affected health.Getting LPG at cheap rates will keep their health safe and the environment will also benefit.
