In a notable price revision following the Diwali festivities, oil marketing companies (OMCs) in India have announced an increase in the cost of commercial LPG cylinders across the nation. The widely used 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has seen a hike of Rs 62, taking its price in Delhi to Rs 1,802 from the previous rate of Rs 1,740.

This change also affects smaller cylinders, with a Rs 15 increase in the cost of 5 kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinders. However, in a move likely to be welcomed by domestic consumers, the prices of the commonly used 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinders remain unchanged, bringing relief to households reliant on LPG for cooking needs.
