The price of a domestic (14.2 kg) LPG cylinder was hiked by Rs 25 on Thursday. The price of a commercial (19 kg) LPG cylinder was increased by Rs 76. These hikes are on the back of global cues with international prices of crude oil and its products rising.
This is the first hike in domestic LPG prices since March 2021. Prices were hiked thrice in February itself and then once on March 1.
These new prices are applicable for July 2021.
Before the hike, a domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi costed Rs 809 apiece while a commercial cylinder sold at Rs 1473.50 apiece. It is estimated that a domestic cylinder will now cost Rs 834.50 apiece in the national capital.
