Government sources have hinted that prices of petrol and diesel may hike by Rs 4-5 per litre and LPG domestic cylinder prices may increase by Rs 40-50 per cylinder. The speculation has been fuelled after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the people of India on Sunday to cut down on petrol and diesel consumption amid supply disruptions caused by the war in the Middle East.
On May 1, the government increased the 19 kg commercial cylinder price by Rs 993 across the country. A 19 kg commercial cylinder will now cost Rs 3,071.50 in Delhi and Rs 3,202 in Kolkata. The hike in prices comes amid broader discussions around India’s energy supply situation, particularly as tensions in West Asia raise concerns about potential disruptions in global oil routes.

He added that restrictions on use were also necessary to save foreign currency spent on fuel imports. "We must also place a strong emphasis on saving foreign exchange, as petrol and diesel have become so expensive globally." PM Modi also urged people to resume energy-saving schemes that were in place during the Covid pandemic. "We should prioritise work from home, online conferences, and virtual meetings again," he said.
