cooking fuel for millions<\/a> of Indian households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New LPG Prices in Major Cities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the latest revision, the price of domestic LPG cylinders has increased across major metropolitan cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximate new rates include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Delhi:<\/strong> about <strong>\u20b9913 per cylinder<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mumbai:<\/strong> around <strong>\u20b9912.50<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kolkata:<\/strong> about <strong>\u20b9939<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chennai:<\/strong> roughly <strong>\u20b9928.50<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The price difference between cities depends on <strong>state taxes and local levies<\/strong>, which influence the final retail price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial Cylinders Also Costlier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with household cylinders, <strong>commercial LPG cylinders used by restaurants and businesses<\/strong> have also seen a sharp increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Commercial LPG price increase:<\/strong> about <strong>\u20b9115 per 19-kg cylinder<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This rise could impact restaurants, street food vendors, hotels and other small businesses that depend heavily on LPG for daily operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why LPG Prices Are Rising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The price hike is largely linked to <strong>global energy market disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict in West Asia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The war involving <strong>Iran, the United States and Israel<\/strong> has disrupted oil and gas shipments through critical maritime routes such as the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, through which roughly <strong>20% of the world\u2019s oil supply normally passes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Global crude oil prices have surged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipping costs and energy supply risks have increased.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import-dependent countries like India are facing higher fuel costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since India imports a significant portion of its LPG supply, global price fluctuations directly affect domestic retail rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on Households<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u20b960 increase may appear small, but it can <strong>add pressure to household budgets<\/strong>, especially for middle-class and lower-income families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the government has clarified that <strong>subsidised LPG connections under schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana remain protected<\/strong>, ensuring that poorer households continue receiving financial support for cooking fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Government Monitoring Supply Situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials have assured that <strong>India currently has adequate LPG stocks<\/strong>, and there is no immediate shortage of cooking gas despite global disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities and oil companies are closely monitoring the situation in West Asia to ensure supply stability and prevent further shocks to domestic energy prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India has increased the price of domestic LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinders by \u20b960, reflecting the growing impact of
