India raises non-subsidised LPG price ₹60
Change
India’s oil companies raised non-subsidised domestic LPG prices by ₹60 per 14.2-kg cylinder effective March 7, taking the Delhi price to ₹913.
Why it matters
The increase applies to non-subsidised domestic cooking gas LPG used by households other than Ujjwala beneficiaries. In Delhi, the price is ₹913 per 14.2-kg cylinder effective March 7. Listed prices include Mumbai at ₹912.50, Kolkata at ₹939, and Chennai at ₹928.50. This is the second increase in 11 months; the prior hike was ₹50 in April last year. Prices differ by state based on local sales tax/VAT.
Implications
- • Higher out-of-pocket cost per 14.2-kg cylinder for non-subsidised domestic LPG buyers.
- • City/state retail LPG prices remain uneven due to local sales tax/VAT differences.
Who is affected
- • Household LPG purchasers (non-subsidised)
- • Oil marketing company pricing teams
- • LPG cylinder distributors and retailers
