In a significant move following the Diwali festival, oil marketing companies in India have increased the prices of commercial LPG gas cylinders. The cost of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has risen by Rs 62, making it Rs 1,802 in Delhi. Previously, it was priced at Rs 1,740. Additionally, the price of 5 kg Free Trade LPG cylinders has gone up by Rs 15. However, the price of the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinders remains unchanged, providing relief to households.
This price adjustment is expected to affect commercial establishments and small businesses that depend on LPG for their operations. The revision is part of a broader trend in fuel price changes due to fluctuating global market conditions. On October 1, the prices of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders were increased by Rs 48.50, impacting businesses that rely on these cylinders. The 5 kg Free Trade LPG cylinders also saw a Rs 12 increase.
The revised prices are now effective nationwide, influencing the cost structure for many businesses. This increase may lead to higher operating costs for affected sectors, potentially resulting in increased prices for consumers in various industries.
