On the occasion of International Women's Day, Prime Minister Modi made a groundbreaking announcement, reducing the price of LPG cylinders by ₹100, in a move aimed at alleviating financial burdens of households across the nation, particularly benefiting the women empowerment initiative, Nari Shakti.

The decision aligns with the commitment to enhance the affordability of cooking gas, promoting healthier living conditions for families nationwide, as emphasized by the Prime Minister on social media platform X.

Following this decision, Oil Minister Puri shared updates on X, mentioning that under the Ujjwala Yojana, LPG cylinders will now be available at ₹503 for the beneficiaries, and at ₹803 for other consumers, marking a significant reduction in prices.
