New Delhi: Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, on Monday announced the decision hike the prices of cooking gas. The gas price has been increased for both set of consumers – Ujwalla and general categories.
The cost for a 14.2-kg LPG cylinder will increase to Rs 853 from the current price of Rs 803 for the general category consumers. Similarly, the rate of 14.2 kg cylinder for the customers under the Ujwalla scheme will be increased from Rs 503 to Rs 553.
The move is in stark contrast to the reduction of cost for the commercial LPG cylinders. The prices for 19-kg commercial LPG gas cylinders were reduced by Rs 41, effective from April 1. The current retail price for a commercial LPG cylinder is Rs 1762.
