Cabinet approves continuation of targeted subsidy for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana consumers for 2025-26 at Rs 12,000 crore.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led cabinet has approved the continuation of targeted subsidy for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana consumers for 2025-26 at Rs 12,000 crore, as per official notification from the government.<\/p>\n

The government approved the targeted subsidy of Rs.300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 9 re\ufb01lls per year (and proportionately pro-rated for 5 kg cylinder) to the bene\ufb01ciaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) during FY 2025-26 at an expenditure of Rs 12,000 crore.<\/p>\n

\n

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) was launched in May, 2016 with an objective to provide deposit-free LPG connection to adult women from poor households across the country. As on 01.07.2025, there are about 10.33 crore PMUY connections across the country.<\/p>\n

All PMUY bene\ufb01ciaries receive deposit-free LPG connection which includes Security Deposit (SD) of Cylinder, Pressure Regulator, Suraksha Hose, Domestic Gas Consumer Card (DGCC) booklet and installation charges. As per the existing modalities of Ujjwala 2.0, the \ufb01rst re\ufb01ll and stove is also provided free of cost to all bene\ufb01ciaries. PMUY bene\ufb01ciaries are not required to make any payments for the LPG connection or the \ufb01rst re\ufb01ll or stove as the cost for these is borne by the Government of India\/OMCs.<\/p>\n

To shield PMUY bene\ufb01ciaries from the impact of sharp \ufb02uctuations in international prices of LPG and to make LPG more a\ufb00ordable to PMUY consumers, thereby ensuring sustained usage of LPG by them, Government started a targeted subsidy of Rs.200\/- per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 12 re\ufb01lls per annum (and proportionately pro-rated for 5 kg connections) to the PMUY consumers in May 2022. In October 2023, Government increased targeted subsidy to Rs.300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 12 re\ufb01lls per annum (and proportionately pro-rated for 5 kg connections).<\/p>\n

Average Per Capita Consumption (PCC) of PMUY consumers which was only about 3 re\ufb01lls in 2019-20 and 3. 68 re\ufb01lls in 2022-23 has improved to about 4.47 during FY 2024-25.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
