Oil marketing companies (OMC) have hiked the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder price by around ₹102 with immediate effect.
In Delhi, the national capital, the 19 kg commercial cylinder now costs 2355.50 against the previous level, ₹ ₹2253 per cylinder. In Mumbai, the retail LPG price was hiked to ₹2,307 from ₹2205 per cylinder. Hence, in Kolkata, a consumer will have to shell out ₹2,455 for a 19-kg cylinder instead of ₹2,351. At the same time, instead of ₹2,406, the customer will have to spend ₹2,508 in Chennai from today. Meanwhile, a 5kg LPG cylinder is priced at ₹655 now in the national capital.
The increase in prices comes from the rise in global energy prices amid the Ukraine crisis and supply concerns.
But there is a great relief that this increase in prices has not happened in domestic LPG cylinders but commercial gas cylinders.
