Free LPG cylinders will be given on the occasion of Diwali in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta have made such announcements. Let us understand who will be the eligible persons for this.
The Ujjwala Yojana is being implemented to provide affordable LPG cylinders across the country. Eligible women are provided with subsidized LPG cylinders. However, on the occasion of Diwali, the governments of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh are providing free cooking gas to eligible individuals. Let’s find out what Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have announced regarding free LPG cylinders.
Who will receive a free LPG cylinder in Delhi on Diwali?
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated that all eligible individuals with ration cards can benefit from this scheme. Financial assistance will be provided not only to those who use LPG cylinders, but also to those who use PNG connections. Families with ration cards will be covered by this scheme, but it is not mandatory to refill the cylinder that month.
Who will benefit in UP?
The Refill LPG Cylinder Scheme was launched in Uttar Pradesh in 2022. Ujjwala beneficiaries in UP will receive a free LPG cylinder on Diwali. Beneficiaries in the state can also refill their LPG cylinders for free on Diwali or Holi.
The central government launched the Ujjwala Scheme in 2016, providing subsidized LPG cylinders to eligible beneficiaries. Previously, eligible beneficiaries were provided nine subsidized cylinders per year, but this number has now been reduced to four.
Price of LPG Cylinder
The price of a 14.2-kilogram LPG cylinder in Delhi is ₹942. Indians benefiting from the Ujjwala Scheme receive this cylinder at a lower price, while ration card holders who are not beneficiaries of the Ujjwala Scheme pay only ₹942.
