Pankaj JainNew Delhi, April 1 -- Prices of commercial LPG cylinders were increased by Rs 195.50 on Wednesday, driven by a sharp rise in global oil and gas benchmarks amid the escalating situation in West Asia, according to state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs).
Following the revision, a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder will now cost Rs 2,078.50 in Delhi.
The hike is expected to impact restaurants, hotels, and other commercial establishments that rely heavily on bulk LPG supplies.
However, the price of domestic LPG cylinders has been kept unchanged. A 14.2-kg household cylinder continues to be priced at Rs 913, while beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) will continue to receive cylinders at Rs 613.
