Srinagar, Mar 22: The cost of domestic LPG cylinder has been hiked by Rs 50. in Delhi, Mumbai, and other cities, the first hike since October 6, 2021.
In the national capital, the rate of a 14.2 kg non-subisdized domestic LPG cylinder has increased from Rs 899.50 to Rs 949.5 according to the announcement made by OMCs.
This comes after petrol and diesel rates were increased by 80 paise/litre for the first time since November 2021.
The 19-kg commercial cylinder now costs Rs 2003.50. LPG Cylinder rate is revised monthly for all the states and union territories in India.
While LPG rates were last revised on October 6, petrol and diesel prices had been on a freeze since November 4 ahead of the assembly elections in states like Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
Prices have been on a freeze since then despite the cost of raw material spiralling. International oil prices were around USD 81-82 a barrel in early November as against USD 114 now.
According to a report by PTI, Sources said a 5 kg LPG cylinder will now cost Rs 349 while the 10 kg composite bottle will come for Rs 669.
