On May 13, domestic LPG cylinder prices in India remained unchanged, with a 14.2-kg cylinder costing ₹912.50 in Mumbai. Despite the ongoing conflict in West Asia impacting global energy markets, no further price adjustments have been made since the ₹60 increase on March 7. Commercial LPG prices have surged, with a 19-kg cylinder now priced at ₹3,071.50, putting pressure on hospitality businesses reliant on cooking fuel. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has called for prudent use of petroleum products, emphasizing the need for energy conservation to mitigate the economic effects of global conflicts. State-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) are reportedly absorbing losses of ₹1,600–1,700 crore daily to shield consumers from these price hikes, leading to cumulative losses exceeding ₹1 lakh crore over the past ten weeks. This situation raises concerns about the sustainability of such subsidies without impacting the financial health of these companies.
