Subsidised LPG gas cylinder price
Subsidised LPG cylinder rates in the four metro cities are Rs 495.69 per cylinder in Delhi, Rs 498.43 in Kolkata, Rs 498.38 in Mumbai and Rs 483.69 in Chennai, Indian Oil Corp - the largest fuel retailer in the country - said on its website. That compares with the subsidised LPG rates of Rs 491.13, Rs 493.83, Rs 493.8 and Rs 479.11 per cylinder before the latest round of revision. Therefore, subsidised LPG cylinder prices effective November 1 are higher about Rs 4.6 per cylinder (14.2 kg) compared to previous rates.
Every household in the country is entitled to 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg each at subsidised rates in a year. Any requirement beyond that is to be purchased at market price (non-subsidised LPG rates).
