The number of PM Ujjwala Yojana scheme cylinders has been reduced from 9 to 4 per year. Under this scheme, poor consumers used to receive 9 cylinders a year at a subsidized price, with a concession of ₹300 on each cylinder.
That means such beneficiaries only had to pay ₹642 per cylinder. However, due to a shortage of cooking gas caused by the war in West Asia, the Center has decided to reduce the 9 cylinders provided to the poor to four.
