Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Hiked Sharply; 19 Kg Cylinder Now ₹3,071.50 in Kolkata
₹993 increase hits businesses; domestic LPG prices remain unchanged
In a significant price revision, the cost of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has been increased by ₹993, taking the new price to ₹3,071.50 in New Delhi, according to sources.
The sharp hike is expected to impact businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and small food vendors that rely heavily on commercial LPG cylinders for daily operations.
However, there is some relief for households as there has been no change in the price of domestic LPG cylinders. Officials confirmed that the revision applies only to commercial cylinders, leaving household cooking gas rates unaffected for now.
The increase comes amid fluctuating global energy prices and is likely to have a cascading effect on food and service costs in the coming days.
