Domestic LPG cylinder costlier by Rs 60, commercial up Rs 115 amid West Asia conflict

NEW DELHI: (Mar 7) The prices of domestic LPG and commercial cylinders were hiked by a steep Rs 60 and Rs 114.5, respectively, amid rising energy costs linked to the West Asia conflict.

Non-subsidised LPG, the one that common household users other than the Ujjwala beneficiaries use in their kitchens, will now cost Rs 913 per 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi as against Rs 853 previously, according to the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) website. This is the second increase in prices in less than a year.

Industry officials said the increase follows a steep rise in global energy prices since the breakout of military conflict in West Asia.
