The price of domestic LPG cylinders has been cut by Rs 200 for all connections, in all markets across the country, the Union government announced on Tuesday. This decision comes amid high inflation and ahead of crucial state and general elections. India has a total of 314 million domestic LPG consumers, according to government data.
The across-the-board reduction in the LPG cylinder price — the first change in its price in six months — will come into effect on Wednesday. The price of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinders was last changed in March when it was raised by Rs 50. Before this, the domestic LPG cylinder price was raised back in July 2022.
