LPG price cut: Commercial cylinder to cost Rs 183 cheaper in Delhi, no change in domestic price

5-kg cylinder rate comes down too

Alongside the reduction in commercial LPG rates, the price of the 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinder has also been lowered by Rs 13, reported news agency ANI. Following the revision, the retail price of the 5-kg FTL cylinder in Delhi stands at Rs 808.50, according to sources quoted by ANI.

The latest cut comes after multiple revisions in LPG prices over the past few months. In June, the price of domestic LPG cylinders was increased by Rs 29, taking the retail price of a 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi from Rs 913 to Rs 942.

Earlier, on March 7, oil marketing companies had raised domestic LPG prices by Rs 60 per cylinder in the wake of disruptions in global energy markets triggered by the conflict in West Asia.

At the beginning of the year, oil marketing companies had increased the price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders by Rs 111. Following the January 1 revision, the retail price in Delhi was fixed at Rs 1,691.50. The price of the 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinder was also raised by Rs 27 from the same date.
