LPG price hike: Domestic cooking gas cost up by Rs 60 a cylinder | India News - The Times of India
The price of domestic LPG cylinders in India has been increased by ₹60, bringing higher cooking gas costs for households across the country. The revision applies to the commonly used 14.2-kg domestic cylinder supplied by oil marketing companies. With this change, families that rely on LPG for daily cooking will now pay more for refills. Government officials indicated that the increase reflects adjustments linked to global fuel trends and subsidy structures. The price revision affects millions of households and may slightly raise monthly household expenses, particularly for middle-income families that do not receive significant subsidies. Beneficiaries under certain government schemes may continue to receive support through direct benefit transfers. Energy analysts say such revisions occur periodically to align domestic LPG prices with international energy markets. Consumers are advised to check the latest prices in their cities through official distributor channels or oil company websites before booking their next refill.
