The government has officially announced a ₹300 subsidy on every LPG cylinder for eligible households in 2025, offering major financial relief at a time when fuel prices continue to impact family budgets.

The relief will be credited directly into bank accounts linked with Aadhaar.

Why the Government Increased the LPG Subsidy
With rising global fuel prices and pressure on domestic households, the government has extended and enhanced the LPG subsidy for 2025 to ensure cooking fuel remains affordable. The move aims to support rural families, women beneficiaries, and households dependent on LPG as their primary cooking source.
Who Will Receive the ₹300 Subsidy in 2025
The relief covers all active Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries and select low-income households approved under state guidelines. Eligibility depends on Aadhaar verification, updated KYC, and an active LPG connection registered in the beneficiary’s name.
Full Breakdown of the New 2025 LPG Subsidy Rules
Below is the single allowed bullet list summarizing all major updates:
• ₹300 subsidy per LPG cylinder for eligible households
• Applied to a maximum of 12 cylinders per year
• Aadhaar and bank account KYC mandatory for subsidy credit
• Active LPG connection required in the beneficiary’s name
• DBT transfers credited after each purchase
• Duplicate or inactive LPG accounts to be removed
• States may add additional support based on local schemes
How the ₹300 Subsidy Will Be Credited
Once the household purchases a cylinder at market price, the government will credit ₹300 directly to the linked bank account within a few days. Beneficiaries must ensure their Aadhaar and bank details are correctly updated with their LPG distributor to avoid delays.
State-Wise Add-On Benefits Possible
Some states may add extra support on top of the central subsidy based on local welfare programs. This could further reduce the effective price of LPG cylinders for rural and economically weaker families.
What Households Should Update Before 2025 Rollout
Beneficiaries should confirm that their Aadhaar is linked to their LPG connection, bank KYC is completed, and mobile numbers are updated with LPG distributors. Any mismatch in details may prevent DBT subsidy credit.
