Key Points
With this hike, the cost of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has risen sharply, adding to the operational expenses of the hospitality and food service sectors.
New Delhi, Apr 1: The price of commercial LPG cylinders has been increased by Rs 195.5 per unit. The revision, announced on Wednesday, will directly impact hotels, restaurants, and other commercial establishments that rely heavily on LPG for cooking and operations.
With this hike, the cost of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has risen sharply, adding to the operational expenses of the hospitality and food service sectors.
However, in a relief to households, the government has kept domestic LPG cylinder prices unchanged. The decision ensures that families will not face immediate financial strain in their monthly budgets, even as commercial users bear the brunt of the adjustment.
This price revision comes amid fluctuating global energy markets and rising input costs.
Odisha and other states are expected to feel the impact particularly in urban centers where restaurants and small businesses depend on commercial LPG. While households remain shielded for now, the broader economic ripple effect could be felt in the service sector, potentially influencing inflationary trends in the months ahead.
Earlier on March 1, rates were increased by Rs 114.5 per 19-kg cylinder. Meanwhile, domestic cooking gas LPG rates were last hiked by Rs 60 per 14.2-kg cylinder on March 7.
The oil companies revise fuel prices on the first day of every month, aligning domestic rates with global market trends. While commercial users bear the brunt of the latest hike, the government’s decision to keep domestic LPG rates steady reflects its effort to shield households from inflationary pressures.
