LPG price may be hiked next week; petrol, diesel rates up again
The Hindu
Unlike petrol and diesel, whose pricing has been decontrolled, the government has not official announced deregulation of LPG rates.
Cooking gas LPG prices may be hiked next week after under-recovery on the fuel widened to over ₹ 100 per cylinder, sources said insisting that the rate hike, including the quantum of increase, is dependent on government permission.
If allowed, this will be the fifth increase in cooking gas rates across all categories — households using subsidised gas for cooking and heating purposes, non-subsidised fuel and industrial-sized gas.
LPG rates were last hiked by ₹ 15 per cylinder on October 6, taking the total increase in rates since July to ₹ 90 per 14.2-kg cylinder.
