A day after cooking gas LPG prices were hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday said gas prices cannot be looked at in isolation and that fuel prices have been held steady despite volatility in international oil markets.
At a media conference, when he was asked about the steep increase in LPG prices, Puri first said that the government has been constantly striving to increase domestic production of gas and that there has been no shortage of fuel supplies anywhere in the country. “You cannot look at gas prices in isolation,” he said in reference to soaring global energy rates that have led to the price increase.
