Government Increases LPG Cylinder Prices by ₹50 Amidst Rising Fuel Taxes​

​The central government has hiked the prices of LPG gas cylinders by ₹50. The move will affect both regular and Ujjwala scheme cylinders. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri also announced a ₹2 hike in excise duty on petrol and diesel. He stated that oil marketing companies would absorb this cost, preventing any impact on consumers. ​

Current LPG Cylinder Prices:

• Delhi: ₹803​
• Mumbai: ₹802.50​
• Kolkata: ₹829​
• Chennai: ₹818.50​

These price adjustments have raised concerns among the public, especially with the rising costs of essential commodities.
