How Prices Are Determined
**International Market:** India imports approximately 60% of its LPG requirements; therefore, global crude oil and gas prices directly influence domestic cylinder prices.
**Dollar-Rupee Exchange Rate:** Fluctuations in the value of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar also affect LPG costs within the country.
State-Level Taxes
Local VAT and distributor transportation charges vary by state, leading to slight price differences between cities.
