Crude oil spike triggers LPG panic in India; rules tweaked, people gather at outlets as West Asia war has global effect
The ongoing West Asia conflict between the United States-Israel and Iran has triggered panic for domestic LPG cylinders in several parts of India, with people seen queuing outside gas agencies.
Amid rising global energy prices linked to the crisis, cooking gas prices were hiked by ₹60 per cylinder on Saturday. Seeing the hoarding and surge in frequent bookings of household LPG cylinders, a lock-in period of 25 days has also been imposed.
