The government has revised the prices of LPG gas cylinders yet again. The rate of commercial gas cylinders has been slashed by nearly Rs 92 on Saturday, which is the first day of the fiscal year 2023-24. The price of a commercial gas cylinder in Delhi is Rs 2028, and in Mumbai, it is Rs 1,980. In the last one year, the rates of commercial gas cylinders have been reduced by Rs 225 only in Delhi. However, the price of domestic LPG gas cylinders is the same.
In March, the Centre raised the prices of domestic cooking gas by Rs 50. Last year, the rate of domestic LPG cylinders was revised four times. In January this year, the price of commercial cylinders was increased by Rs 25, costing Rs 1,768 in Delhi. The LPG prices in India are determined by state-run oil companies and are revised every month. Domestic cooking gas costs vary from state to state due to local taxes.
