On Friday, commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices in India saw a record-breaking increase of ₹993, bringing the cost of a 19-kg cylinder to ₹3,071.50 in Delhi. This marks the steepest rise in history and the third consecutive monthly hike, following increases of ₹195.50 on April 1 and ₹114.50 on March 1. Over the past three months, the total increase has reached ₹1,303. The surge in prices is attributed to a nearly 50% rise in global crude oil prices, driven by supply chain disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia. While commercial LPG prices have fluctuated significantly over the years, domestic LPG prices have remained stable, with the last adjustment on March 7, when prices rose by ₹60 for a 14.2-kg cylinder, currently priced at ₹913 in Delhi. State-run oil companies, including the Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum, revise LPG prices monthly based on international benchmarks and currency exchange rates, while domestic prices have not changed despite the volatility in global markets.
