LPG Discount for Diwali 2025-Full Information
Kitchen would take the bigger share of household budgets just before Diwali. Hence, the buzz around a proposed ₹200 cut in the price of LPG has raised hopes. This step is aimed at relieving households during these festive times by making cooking gas accessible, more so for the middle and lower-income groups. At the same time, the targeted subsidy for Ujjwala beneficiaries of ₹300 per refill will be operative separately, thereby adding further to the effective cost for such families.
What is the significance of this step?
Household expenses go up during festivals. Bringing down the prices of core items like cooking gas gives immediate relief and lessens the impact of inflation to some degree. It also helps rural families with clean fuel, saving time, preventing smoke problems, and easing cooking. The past years have seen festivities and social eventualities coinciding with discounts so as to allow easier management of budgets.

Urban and Rural Impact
Urban households: Those refilling gas cylinders monthly realize direct savings contemplating easy management of other festive spendings-sweets, decorations, gifts-which will also help stabilize costs for small restaurants, tiffin services, home kitchens, etc.
Rural households: For Ujjwala-connected women, this cut encourages a switch to clean fuel. Lesser dependence on wood/kerosene benefits such as health, time savings, and less indoor pollution would accrue.
