Large price gap between domestic LPG gas cylinders and commerical gas cylinders are resulting in rise in diversion of domestic cylinders for commerical purposes.
Sources have told ANI that the 14.2 kg domestic gas cylinders are being heavily diverted to commercial use due to the huge pricing gap between 14.2 kg domestic gas cylinders and 19 kg commercial gas cylinders.
A 14.2 kg domestic gas cylinder in Delhi is priced at Rs 899.50, while 19 kg commercial gas cylinder is priced at Rs 1,907. The large price gap of Rs 1,007.5 is being exploited by unscrupulous marketers who are using it as an opportunity to earn money by diverting domestic cylinders for commercial use.
