Steep increase of ₹266 in 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder price

The over ₹266 hike precursor for a sharp rise in domestic cooking gas cost
In one of the steepest hikes in liquefied petroleum gas prices in seven years, national oil marketing companies have increased commercial 19-kg LPG cylinder cost by more than Rs.266 with effect from November 1.
Though upward revisions are not entirely unusual amid a surge in crude oil prices, the quantum will indeed be worrisome for restaurants, eateries and even many tea stalls, which constitute the largest user segment of the 19-kg cylinder. It is bound to make matters worse as many, just like their customers, are grappling with cascading impact of rising petrol and diesel prices.
A 19-kg cylinder, following the increase, will cost ₹2,000.50 as against Rs.1,734 in Delhi; ₹1,950 (Rs.1,683) in Mumbai; ₹2,073.50 (Rs.1,803) in Kolkata; ₹2,133 (Rs.1,865) in Chennai; and ₹2,175 (Rs.1,905) in Hyderabad.
