He said this is a gift from PM Narendra Modi to all the women of the country.
The Centre announced the move at a time when the country is already facing high inflation ahead of Hindu festival of Rakhi.
The price of 14.2-kg LPG cylinder will now come down from Rs 1,103 to Rs 903 in Delhi.
Thakur said: "Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries are already getting a Rs 200 subsidy. They will also benefit from the decrease in the rate."
