Barely a week after prices of commercial LPG cylinder went up, the domestic LPG cylinder rate has gone up by ₹ 50.
The price of a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder will now be ₹ 999.50 in Delhi, according to agencies. The rates for domestic or cooking gas cylinders were last hiked in March this year. At that time too there was a ₹ 50 hike. With today’s price rise, domestic gas cylinder’s price has gone up by ₹ 100 in the last one and a half months.
The 5 kg domestic LPG cylinder currently costs ₹ 655.
On May 1, the prices of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder were raised by a steep ₹ 102.50 to ₹ 2,355.50.
Costs of LPG cylinders vary city-wise due to value added tax and other taxes levied in different states.
The latest price hike of domestic gas cylinders has come at a time when petrol and diesel prices are already beyond the ₹ 100 per litre mark in several cities across the country.
Last month, prices of piped natural gas were also raised by ₹ 4.25 per unit to go up to ₹ 45.86 per scm owing to rising raw material costs.
The hike in prices of gas and fuel is mainly due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war which has affected supplies across the globe.
