The Delhi administration will provide financial help for LPG cylinders to 15.45 lakh families holding ration cards, as part of its welfare drive.
The Delhi government has unveiled a scheme to extend financial assistance for LPG cylinders to 15.45 lakh families that possess ration cards. The move aims to ease the burden of cooking fuel costs for low‑income households across the capital.
Under the programme, eligible families will receive a subsidy that can be applied at authorised LPG distributors when they purchase a cylinder. The assistance will be credited directly to the consumer’s account, ensuring a seamless transaction.
The scheme is part of a broader set of welfare measures announced by the Delhi administration to strengthen food and energy security for vulnerable sections of society. Officials said the rollout will begin within the next few weeks, with verification through existing ration‑card databases.
Distribution centres across Delhi have been instructed to coordinate with LPG dealers to facilitate the subsidy. Beneficiaries will be notified through official channels, and the government will monitor the implementation to prevent misuse.
