Domestic cylinder up by ₹60
LPG cylinders just got more expensive: a 14.2-kg domestic cylinder is up by ₹60 (now ₹910.50 to ₹1,002.50), and the 19-kg commercial one jumped ₹144 (now ₹1,836 to ₹2,133.50; Patna tops the chart).
The price hike came amid earlier panic booking and the government invoked the Essential Commodities Act and directed refineries to ramp up production.
Petrol ranges from ₹94.30 in Chandigarh to ₹107.46 in Hyderabad; diesel sits between ₹82.45 and ₹96.21 depending on where you are.
CNG holds at ₹77.09 per kg in Delhi/NCR but hits up to ₹96 per kg in Hyderabad.
On the bright side, Hindustan Petroleum says there is plenty of crude on its way; no need to worry about shortages.
