LPG cooking gas prices were hiked once again in India after 15 days on Wednesday, September 1, as the state-owned petroleum companies raised the rates from this day onwards. The price of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders was increased by ₹25 once again, after a consecutive hike of the same amount over two months. Due to the recent revision in LPG rates, the price of a non-subsidised cylinder in Delhi weighing 14.2 kg went up to ₹884.50 while one weighing the same costs ₹911 in Kolkata.
After the hike, a 14.2 kilogram of domestic cylinder would now cost ₹884.50 in Delhi. In Mumbai, a non-subsidised LPG cylinder will now cost ₹884.50 as well. One has to pay ₹911 for a cylinder in Kolkata, the highest among the four metros.
