70% of the commercial fuel supply is being maintained despite ongoing efforts to stabilize availability.
Domestic and commercial LPG cylinder prices in India remained largely unchanged on Thursday despite continued volatility in global oil markets. Due to the ongoing US-Iran war, fuel supply disruptions have triggered the third hike in commercial LPG prices in India since the conflict began on 28 April.
Commercial LPG cylinders, commonly used by hotels and restaurants, have become costlier by ₹993, pushing the price of a 19-kg cylinder to an all-time high of ₹3,071.50. Meanwhile, the price of 5-kg FTL (market-rate) LPG cylinders has risen sharply from ₹549 to ₹810.50 per cylinder.
With this hike, the 5-kg FTL cylinder is now priced only slightly below the ₹913 cost of the standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder used in households.
Domestic LPG prices were hiked by ₹60 per 14.2-kg cylinder on March 7.
