Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Hiked by Rs 10 for Third Consecutive Month
Commercial LPG cylinder prices have increased by Rs 10 to Rs 2,820 for a 19-kg cylinder from November 1, marking the third consecutive monthly hike. This rise affects businesses like hotels and restaurants during the festive season, while domestic LPG prices remain unchanged. The price fluctuations in 2026 are attributed to geopolitical tensions and import cost volatility, especially disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz. The Congress criticized the government for these hikes, labeling Prime Minister Modi as 'Mehengai Man,' while other sources reported the increases factually without political commentary.
