LPG Cylinder Prices Amid Gas Shortage: Check Latest Rates In Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru And Other Cities

LPG Cylinder Prices: The ongoing war between the United States, Israel, and Iran has sparked a global energy crisis. Disruptions in supplies through the Strait of Hormuz are leading to oil and gas shortages worldwide. Due to the global gas cylinder shortage caused by the war, people in India have begun lining up to buy cylinders. Meanwhile, the price of domestic LPG has increased by Rs 60, while the price of commercial cylinders has been increased by Rs 115.

Amid LPG supplies to India impacted by tensions in West Asia, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said on Wednesday said the government has absorbed a significant part of the cost increase to the increase to protect the consumers.

"Currently, LPG is being directed to the domestic sector. For non-domestic LPG, priority is being given to essential sectors such as hospitals and educational institutions. The committee is consulting with state authorities and industry bodies to finalise the plan to ensure that available LPG is distributed fairly and transparently," she said addressing an Inter-Ministerial press briefing.
