LPG price hike: The price of 5 kg free trade LPG cylinders has been raised by Rs 12.

State-backed oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Tuesday raised the prices of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders. With this revision, the cost per cylinder has increased by Rs 48.50.

Additionally, the price of 5 kg free trade LPG cylinders has been raised by Rs 12.

The rate of cooking gas used in domestic households, however, remained unchanged at Rs 803 per 14.2-kg cylinder.

This marks the third price hike for 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders by OMCs. Over the past three months, the total increase in commercial cylinder prices now stands at Rs 94.

These changes are likely to affect businesses that depend on commercial cylinders for their day-to-day operations.

The new prices came into effect on October 1, 2024.

As a result, a 19 kg LPG cylinder in Delhi now costs Rs 1,740, up from Rs 1,691.50. In other cities, the revised prices are Rs 1,850.50 in Kolkata, Rs 1,692.50 in Mumbai, and Rs 1,903 in Chennai.
