Beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme are not seeking refills amid soaring prices of LPG cylinders. According to government data, over 50 per cent of beneficiaries sought four or less refills in the last financial year.

The government’s poll trump card, the Ujjwala Yojna, faces a serious threat of losing ground as the rising price of the LPG cylinder has led to a drastic fall in the number of refills ordered by the BPL beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojna, or PMUY.

With assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh on the horizon, the BJP should take into account government data showing that only 19.5 percent, or 1.81 crore, of the total 9.34 crore PMUY beneficiaries took more than four cylinder refills in FY 2021-22.

A whopping 5,41,22,389 PMUY beneficiaries, or nearly 58 percent, received four or less refills in FY21-22.

The government has admitted in parliament that 2.11 crore, or almost 22.5 per cent of PMUY beneficiaries, did not buy even a single refill in FY21-22.

In fact, government data shows that of the 9.34 crore PMUY consumers, only 31.47 crore refills were bought. This, on an average, works out to just 3.3 refills in an entire year.
