The price of domestic cooking gas was hiked by ₹ 50 per cylinder on Saturday, the second increase in two months. The price hike comes days after the price of commercial LPG cylinders was hiked by Rs 102.50 earlier this month.
With the latest revision, a 14.2-kg non-subsidised cooking gas cylinder, also known as LPG cylinder, will now cost Rs 999.50 in Delhi.
The last hike in domestic LPG prices took place on March 22, when the price was increased by Rs 50. There was no increase in the price of this cylinder in the month of April.
A 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder now cost Rs 2,355.50, up from the earlier price of Rs 2,253.
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
