LPG price hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder, to cost Rs 769 in Delhi

The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) domestic cylinder (14.2 kg) has been hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder. The new prices would be applicable from tomorrow. A gas cylinder in the national capital will now cost ₹ 769 from Monday onwards.

Earlier, the non-subsidised liquefied petroleum gas prices were hiked by Rs 25 on February 4, 2021 across the four metro cities. On December 1, 2020, the price was hiked by a similar ₹50 per cylinder, followed by a hike of Rs 50 again on December 16 due to firming of international prices.

The price of LPG gas cylinders is determined by state-run oil companies and is revised on a monthly basis. Depending on international fuel rates and US dollar-rupee exchange rates, the prices can go up or down.
