LPG Gas Cylinder Price Cut: How to Get a ₹450 Cylinder

The central government has announced additional subsidies on LPG cylinders, bringing the price down by up to ₹300. Beneficiaries in selected states can now purchase a domestic LPG cylinder for just ₹450, a significant reduction from the earlier price of ₹1,100.

About the Subsidy

The subsidy combines a ₹200 price reduction already implemented by the centre with an extra ₹100 support, totaling a ₹300 discount for eligible households. The scheme is linked to the Prime Minister’s Ujjwala Yojana and the state‑level Ladli Bahen Yojana.

Key Dates

Eligibility

• Registered under Prime Minister’s Ujjwala Yojana.
• Registered under the state’s Ladli Bahen Yojana (or similar women‑focused housing scheme).
• Beneficiaries must have a valid LPG connection and a registered ID on the official portal.

How the Discount Works

• Market price of a domestic LPG cylinder is paid at the retailer (e.g., ₹903 in Delhi).
• The state government transfers the subsidized amount directly to the beneficiary’s bank account after purchase.
• The net amount the beneficiary pays at the outlet becomes ₹450 in the participating states.

States Offering the ₹450 Cylinder

The reduced price is being rolled out in five states where assembly elections are scheduled in 2024, including Madhya Pradesh. Other states follow a similar model, but exact lists may vary.

Application Process

1. Ensure you are registered under both Ujjwala Yojana and Ladli Bahen Yojana.
2. Visit the official LPG subsidy portal (link provided by the state government) and verify your registration.
3. Purchase the cylinder at a retailer; the market price will be charged.
4. The subsidy amount will be credited to your bank account within a few days, effectively reducing your out‑of‑pocket cost to ₹450.

Why This Matters

Reducing LPG costs eases the financial burden on low‑income families, especially women, and helps curb inflationary pressures on household energy expenses.
