LPG Prices Today: The festive season has begun in India, bringing with it price hikes across various commodities—from gold and silver to vegetables. Regarding LPG cylinders, there have been no further price increases for either commercial or domestic cylinders since the hike on October 1st. Earlier this month, the rate for commercial cylinders rose by ₹71.50; however, the price of the 14.2 kg domestic cylinder remained unchanged at that time.
The last price hike for domestic cylinders occurred in June. Since the price of the 14.2 kg domestic cylinder remains stable, household budgets will not be significantly impacted for now. On the other hand, the increased cost of commercial LPG cylinders could raise concerns for business owners; the higher rates for the 19 kg cylinders used in hotels, restaurants, and dhabas will affect their operating expenses. Let us take a look at the current prices of domestic and commercial cylinders across different states.
