Oil marketing companies have increased commercial LPG cylinder prices by ₹195.50 across metro cities due to global supply disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict. The new price of a 19-kg cylinder stands at ₹2,078.50 in Delhi, ₹2,208 in Kolkata, ₹2,031 in Mumbai, and ₹2,246.50 in Chennai. Domestic LPG prices remain unchanged at ₹913, while PMUY beneficiaries pay ₹613. The government stated that commercial LPG prices are market-driven and revised monthly. A sharp 44% rise in Saudi Contract Price and supply blockage in the Strait of Hormuz triggered the hike. Oil companies continue to face under-recoveries, while petrol and diesel prices remain stable despite global volatility.
