However, the beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will not have any impact on the rise in LPG cylinder prices. The beneficiaries of PMUY will receive a free cylinder by 30 June. It is to be noted that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced to provide free LPG cylinders for three months to the beneficiaries of Ujjwala Yojana under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana.
