Prime Minister Narendra Mod declared a substantial reduction of ₹100 in the prices of domestic gas cylinders.

“Today, on Women’s Day, our Government has decided to reduce LPG cylinder prices by Rs. 100. This will significantly ease the financial burden on millions of households across the country, especially benefiting our Nari Shakti,” he stated.

Emphasizing the broader impact of the initiative, PM Modi underscored the importance of accessible cooking gas in fostering a healthier environment and supporting family well-being.

He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to empowering women and ensuring ‘Ease of Living’ for all.

“By making cooking gas more affordable, we also aim to support the well-being of families and ensure a healthier environment. This is in line with our commitment to empowering women and ensuring ‘Ease of Living’ for them,” he added.

The opposition questioned the timing of the price cut stating that the prices had been cut to woo the women voters ahead of elections. “The prices of domestic LPG cylinders have been increased by over 500 rupees during Modi’s rule. This cut of 100 rupees is not enough. It’s is being merely done to befool common people,” the opposition leaders stated.
