Factors Behind LPG Price Fluctuations
LPG prices are influenced by global crude oil rates, demand-supply conditions, taxation policies, and currency exchange fluctuations. OMCs typically revise LPG prices at the beginning of each month based on these factors.
Recent Price Cut Now Reversed
This latest hike negates the relief provided in February 2025, when OMCs reduced commercial LPG prices by Rs 7 per cylinder ahead of the Union Budget. In February, the price of a 19 kg LPG cylinder stood at Rs 1,797 in Delhi, making the latest increase a rollback of previous reductions.
