The Central Government has reduced the number of subsidized LPG cylinders for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries from 9 to 4 per year. Due to rising international fuel prices and mounting losses of oil marketing companies, subsidy will now only be provided on the first 4 cylinders at a rate of Rs 300 each. While a domestic cylinder's cost exceeds Rs 1600, companies face a loss of Rs 700 per unit. Government officials stated that since average Ujjwala families use 4-5 cylinders annually, this decision aligns with their consumption patterns. https://otvkhabar.in/business/government-cuts-ujjwala-lpg-subsidy-cylinders-from-nine-to-four-annually-12014485 #creator program
