The 19 kg commercial cylinder now costs Rs. 2355.50 in the national capital, up from 2253 per cylinder previously. In Mumbai, the price of commercial LPG was raised to Rs. 2,307 per cylinder from Rs. 2,205 before. In Kolkata, however, a 19-kg cylinder would cost Rs.2,455 rather than Rs. 2,351.
At the same time, instead of Rs. 2,406, a customer in Chennai will have to spend Rs. 2,508 starting today. Meanwhile, a 5kg LPG cylinder costs Rs. 655 in the national capital right now. The price rise is due to an increase in global energy prices as a result of the Ukraine crisis and supply concerns.
However, there is some consolation that this price hike has occurred in commercial gas cylinders rather than domestic LPG cylinders. Following the assembly elections in five states, the prices of petrol, diesel, and LPG have been steadily increasing.
The discounted domestic LPG cylinder price rose by Rs. 50 on March 22. Previously, there was no change in the price of domestic LPG cylinders after October 6, 2021.
