Black market for gas cylinders thriving
Domestic cylinder prices have shot up from around ₹1,000 to as much as ₹3,000, while commercial ones now cost up to ₹7,000 each.
Some hotels and hostels are paying even more just to keep kitchens running.
Despite some enforcement and occasional seizures, the black market is still thriving, pushing costs higher and making it harder for regular folks to get gas when they need it.
With global conflicts driving up prices and supplies under pressure during Ramzan, everyday life in Hyderabad is getting tougher, and if this keeps up, food prices could climb too.
