- The prices of commercial Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) – used by commercial establishments – were on Friday hiked by ₹250 per cylinder. With this, the price of a 19-kg commercial cooking gas cylinder in the national capital went up to ₹2,253, and the new rate is effective from today. The prices of LPG are revised on the 1st of every month based on the price of benchmark fuel in the previous month.
This is the third-highest hike after prices of commercial LPG cylinders were increased by ₹105 last month, with the cost per cylinder (19 kg) climbing to ₹2,003.
In Kolkata, a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder will cost ₹2,351. In Mumbai and Chennai, the prices will be ₹2,205 and 2,406 respectively.
Meanwhile, there has been no change in the prices of domestic gas cylinders that are sold to households. The prices of domestic cooking gas prices were last revised in March when a hike of ₹50 per cylinder was announced. A 14.2-kg non-subsidised LPG cylinder now costs ₹949.50 in the national capital. This was the first increase in LPG rates since early October.
Notably, fuel prices continue to rise with petrol and diesel rates rising by another 80 paise per litre each on Thursday, netting an increase of about ₹6.40 a litre in nine revisions in 10 days so far.
