State-run suppliers have raised cooking gas price by ₹50 per cylinder for 313.70 million customers across the country from Wednesday, days after polls in three northeastern states, inviting sharp criticism from the Opposition.
This is the first price increase of cooking fuel sold to households also known as domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in about eight months.
Public sector firms Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd last revised rates on July 6, 2022.
