Non-subsidised LPG cylinder price hiked by Rs 50; here’s how much it will cost now

Among other metros, non-subsidised LPG cylinder price in Kolkata stands at Rs 1079.00, Rs 1052.50 in Mumbai and Rs 1068.50 in Chennai, the data showed.

This is the third hike in LPG prices since May and fourth this year. Prior to the latest hike, domestic LPG prices were last revised on May 19 when the rate was hiked by Rs 3.50 per cylinder. Before that, LPG was hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder on March 22 and again by the same margin on May 7. Generally, the LPG cylinder prices are revised on the 1st and 15th of every month by the OMCs.

OMCs sell 14.2 kg cylinders to domestic households at the prices prevalent in the open market, but the government provides subsidies for 12 such cylinders to beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana each year through a direct benefit transfer to their bank accounts. Households across the country have to pay the non-subsidised prices for LPG, as the Centre has restricted subsidy to beneficiaries of the PM Ujjwala scheme.

Apart from domestic LPG, the price of 19 kg commercial cylinder has been decreased by Rs 8.50 and it will now cost Rs 2012.50 per cylinder in Delhi, the IOC data showed.
