New Delhi: Domestic gas cylinder has become costlier by 50 rupees. Petrol Minister Hardeep Singh Puri gave this information today i.e. on Monday, 7 April. Currently, gas cylinder is available in Delhi for 803 rupees. After the price hike, the price will become 853 rupees. The price increase applies to both Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries as well as other consumers. “For PMUY beneficiaries, the price will rise from Rs 500 to Rs 550 per cylinder. For other consumers, it will increase from Rs 803 to Rs 853,” the minister said.
The last time the government reduced the price of the cylinder by Rs 100 was on Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. Then the cylinder in Delhi was priced at Rs 903.
On April 1, the price of a commercial cylinder was reduced by ₹ 44.50
Oil marketing companies had reduced the price of 19 kg commercial gas cylinder by ₹44.50 on April 1. Its price in Delhi has come down by ₹41 to ₹1762. Earlier, it was available for ₹1803. In Kolkata, it is available for ₹1868.50, down by ₹44.50; earlier its price was ₹1913.
While the increase in domestic gas cylinder prices is a concern for consumers, the recent reduction in commercial cylinder prices has provided some relief to businesses. The government has been adjusting gas prices periodically based on international market trends and currency fluctuations, leading to the rise and fall of LPG cylinder prices in the country.
