PM Narendra Modi's 'Raksha Bandhan' gift: LPG cylinder prices cut by Rs. 200

| @indiablooms | Aug 29, 2023, at 11:48 pm

Union Cabinet on Tuesday slashed the price of 14.2kg cooking gas cylinder by Rs. 200, giving relief to consumers.

Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur said: "The Narendra Modi-led government has decided to reduce the price of gas cylinders by Rs. 200 to mark Raksha Bandhan and Onam."

He said this is a gift from PM Narendra Modi to all the women of the country.

The Centre announced the move at a time when the country is already facing high inflation ahead of Hindu festival of Rakhi.

The price of 14.2-kg LPG cylinder will now come down from Rs 1,103 to Rs 903 in Delhi.

Thakur said: "Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries are already getting a Rs 200 subsidy. They will also benefit from the decrease in the rate."
