Revenue dip in Amma Canteens: Mayor R. Priya provides explanation
Chennai Mayor R. Priya addressed the recent dip in Amma Canteen revenue, attributing it to global fuel shortages and confirming that operations have normalized.
Mayor R. Priya explained that revenue at Amma Canteens saw a temporary dip in April due to global fuel and LPG shortages caused by international war tensions. She stated that the administration's proactive measures have since restored normal operations.
A total of Rs. 20 crore was allocated in the 2024-25 fiscal year to renovate 290 canteens. Daily beneficiaries now average 1.04 lakh, and monthly revenue has increased from Rs. 87.60 lakh in April to Rs. 1.35 crore.
