El Gobierno central reduce de 9 a 4 el número de bombonas de GLP subvencionadas bajo el programa Ujjwala

El Gobierno central ha reducido el número de recargas subvencionadas de GLP bajo el programa Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana de nueve a cuatro por año, en medio de las presiones de suministro global vinculadas al conflicto en Asia Occidental.

El Ministerio de Petróleo y Gas Natural comunicó el cambio el 7 de junio de 2026 junto con un comunicado de prensa sobre el aumento del precio nacional del GLP de 29 rupias. El secretario adicional Praveen Khanooja declaró que el consumo promedio entre los beneficiarios del PMUY es de unas cuatro a cinco bombonas al año, lo que coincide ampliamente con la disposición revisada. El programa comenzó en 2016 y la cuota anual se ha reducido de 12 a nueve y ahora a cuatro. Una bombona de 14,2 kg cuesta ahora 942 rupias en Delhi; con el subsidio de 300 rupias, los beneficiarios pagan 642 rupias por bombona.
