LPG Cylinder Price Hiked by ₹50, Common Man to Face More Financial Burden

LPG Cylinder Price Hiked by ₹50

New Delhi: The price of LPG Gas Cylinder has been increased by Rs 50 per cylinder. This was announced by Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

He said the hike in LPG price will be for both Ujjwala and common consumers. That is, now you have to pay Rs 853 instead of Rs 803 for a gas cylinder. At the same time, to take a cylinder with Ujjwala scheme, you will have to pay Rs 550.

What did the minister say about the price hike?

Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri said that the price of LPG will be increased by Rs 50 per cylinder. From Rs 500, it will go up to Rs 550 (for PMUY beneficiaries) and for others it will go up from Rs 803 to Rs 853.

This is a step that we will review as we go forward. We review it every 2-3 weeks. Therefore, the burden of the increase in excise duty that you have seen will not fall on consumers on petrol and diesel. That excise duty hike is aimed at compensating the oil marketing companies for the Rs 43,000 crore that they have lost on the gas part.’

Recently, the price of commercial gas cylinders was reduced.

Recently, oil marketing companies (OMCs) had reduced the price of LPG cylinders. In Delhi, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder was cut by Rs 41. After this, the price of 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinder in Delhi had gone up to Rs 1762. The new prices were implemented from April 1, 2025. Earlier, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi was Rs 180.

However, this time the price of cooking gas cylinder has been increased, which will increase the burden on the pocket of the general public.
