As of April 30, LPG prices are under scrutiny, with expectations of a rise starting May 1. Domestic LPG rates have remained unchanged since a ₹60 increase in March, while commercial LPG prices have surged, with a ₹144 hike in March followed by another increase of nearly ₹200 on April 1. These adjustments have severely impacted businesses reliant on cooking gas. The price hikes are attributed to geopolitical tensions in West Asia, particularly the conflict involving the US and Iran, which has disrupted oil supplies and pushed global crude prices above $100 per barrel. In response, the Indian government is urging households and industries to explore alternative energy sources to alleviate pressure on domestic fuel supplies. Additionally, there have been significant increases in the prices of industrial diesel, premium petrol, and aviation turbine fuel, with the latter exceeding ₹2.07 lakh per kilolitre in March.
