National Oil Marketing companies have increased commercial 19-kg LPG cylinder cost by Rs 250 effective Friday, April 1. It will now cost Rs 2253 in Delhi, news agency ANI reported. In the past two months, the price of a 19-kg LPG cylinder price hiked by Rs 346/cylinder. Earlier on March 1, the rate of a 19 kg commercial cylinder was increased by Rs 105 and then on March 22, its price was reduced by Rs 9. But there is a relief that this increase in prices has not happened in domestic LPG cylinders, but in commercial gas cylinders.
After the assembly elections held in five states, the prices of petrol, diesel, and LPG are being increased continuously. On March 22, the subsidised domestic LPG cylinder increased by Rs 50. Earlier, after 6 October 2021, there was no change in the rate of domestic LPG cylinders.
Today, April 1, domestic LPG cylinders are available for Rs 949.50 in Delhi, Rs 976 in Kolkata, Rs 949.50 in Mumbai, and Rs 965.50 in Chennai.

However, Jet fuel prices on Friday were hiked by 2 per cent – the seventh straight increase this year – to an all-time high, reflecting a surge in global energy prices.
