The Indian government has raised the price of domestic LPG cylinders by ₹29, bringing the cost to ₹942 in Delhi. This increase is attributed to a sharp rise in international LPG prices due to the ongoing crisis in West Asia. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas emphasized that Indian households still pay significantly less for cooking gas compared to consumers in neighboring countries. Beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana effectively pay ₹642 per cylinder after receiving a ₹300 subsidy on their first four refills annually. The actual cost of supplying a cylinder has surpassed ₹1,600, with the government absorbing a subsidy of about ₹700 per cylinder. The ministry also noted that India imports approximately 60% of its LPG, with prices linked to the Saudi Contract Price, which has risen dramatically in recent months. In contrast, commercial LPG prices are adjusted monthly and currently stand at ₹3,113.50 for a 19 kg cylinder in Delhi. To offset supply constraints, domestic LPG production has increased significantly, and efforts are being made to secure supplies from various international sources.
