LPG Price Rise: Commercial cylinders to get costlier from today; prices up by Rs 39

The sudden increase in LPG prices is likely to impact businesses across various sectors, from restaurants and hotels to small-scale industries.

Oil marketing companies (OMC) have increased the price of 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinders by Rs 39, bringing the retail price in Delhi to Rs 1,691.50, effective September 1.

This latest hike comes after a series of price reductions in the preceding months. In July, prices were lowered by Rs 30 per cylinder, followed by reductions of Rs 69.50 in June and Rs 19 in May.

The frequent fluctuations in LPG prices reflect the dynamic nature of the market, which is influenced by a slew of factors, such as international oil prices, taxation policies, and supply-demand dynamics. While the exact reasons behind the latest price hike have not been disclosed, it is evident that the oil marketing companies are responding to changing market conditions.

The sudden increase in LPG prices will likely impact businesses across various sectors, from restaurants and hotels to small-scale industries. As consumers grapple with rising costs, it remains to be seen how this latest development will affect their operations and overall financial health.
