The prices of domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in India remain stable, with a 14.2 kg cylinder priced at ₹913 in New Delhi and ₹939 in Kolkata. This stability comes despite speculation of imminent hikes in petrol and diesel prices, which government sources suggest could rise by ₹4-5 per litre and LPG prices by ₹40-50 per cylinder. Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the need for reduced fuel consumption in light of disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict in West Asia, urging people to consider alternatives like public transport and carpooling. Meanwhile, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has increased significantly, now costing ₹3,071.50 in New Delhi. The government has not yet raised petrol and diesel prices for domestic consumers, positioning India uniquely in the region amid rising global fuel costs.
