What Is the LPG Cylinder Subsidy Scheme?

The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is a flagship scheme of the central government designed to provide LPG connections to women from poor and BPL families. Under this scheme:

• Women are given free LPG connections.
• The first LPG cylinder refill and a cooking stove are provided free of cost.
• Monthly subsidies help women refill LPG cylinders at a lower price.

In addition to the central subsidy of ₹300 per cylinder, many state governments also provide additional subsidies. As a result, women in some states can purchase LPG cylinders for as low as ₹450–₹500.

Recently, the Madhya Pradesh government transferred ₹27 crore in subsidy payments to the accounts of women under the Chief Minister Ladli Bahana Yojana, coinciding with Swami Vivekananda Jayanti.

Who Is Eligible for the LPG Cylinder Subsidy?

The LPG subsidy is specifically for women who:

1. Belong to poor or BPL families.
2. Have taken an LPG connection under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.
3. Are registered with state-level schemes like the Ladli Bahana Yojana (in Madhya Pradesh).

For example, in Rajasthan, 56 lakh families associated with the Pradhan Mantri Food Security Scheme are eligible for LPG subsidies.
