The Andhra Pradesh government has earmarked ₹300.60 crore to subsidise essential commodities, aiming to ease the cost burden on consumers across the state.
The state government of Andhra Pradesh announced a budget allocation of ₹300.60 crore to subsidise a range of essential commodities, including food grains, cooking oil and kerosene. The funds are intended to lower retail prices and provide relief to low‑income households.
The subsidy scheme will cover major staples such as rice, wheat, pulses and sugar, as well as energy products like kerosene and LPG. Beneficiaries will receive the price cuts through direct cash transfers and reduced rates at state‑run retail outlets.
This allocation follows earlier measures taken by the government to support farmers and consumers during the monsoon season. By targeting essential goods, the state aims to curb inflationary pressures and ensure food security for its residents.
Officials said the subsidy will be implemented through the state’s existing distribution network, with monitoring mechanisms to prevent misuse. The move is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the state’s social welfare programmes.
The announcement was made during a press briefing by the Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, who highlighted the importance of keeping essential goods affordable for the populace.
