A 19 kg LPG cylinder now costs Rs 1,740 in Delhi.
New Delhi:
The oil marketing companies on Tuesday announced an increase in the prices of commercial LPG gas cylinders, effective from today (October 1), the sources said.
According to official sources, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinder has been increased by Rs 48.50, which means a significant increase for companies and institutions that depend on these cylinders. Due to the increase in LPG cylinder prices, a 19 kg LPG cylinder now costs Rs 1,740 in Delhi, compared to Rs 1,691.50 earlier.
Along with the 19 kg variant, the prices of 5 kg Free Trade LPG cylinders have also been increased by Rs 12.
This price revision will have a direct impact on restaurants, hotels and other commercial establishments that use these cylinders for daily operations.
Last month, also on September 1, the oil marketing companies increased the rate of 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinders by Rs 39. After the increase, the retail price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi was Rs 1,691.50.
Despite the increase in commercial LPG prices, there has been no change in domestic LPG cylinder rates, providing some relief to households.
The revised prices are now in effect across the country, impacting the cost structure for many businesses that rely on LPG for their cooking and operational needs. This increase could result in higher operating costs for the affected sectors, potentially leading to an increase in end-user prices across industries.
