Following the latest LPG cylinder price hike, the cooking gas would be available for Rs 834.50 per 14.2 kg cylinder as compared to Rs 809 per 14.2 kg cylinder earlier.
It is pertinent to mention that the LPG prices are revised at the beginning of every month. With the latest hike from July 1, the LPG price now has increased by Rs 140 per cylinder in the last six months.
However, the price remained unchanged in June. Meanwhile, the consumers would have to pay the market price. The government is supposed to give subsidies to domestic consumers covered under the subsidy.
An official at state-run fuel retailers said that a small subsidy was being paid to customers in remote areas to compensate for higher freight charges.
