Domestic LPG prices in major Indian cities remained unchanged on May 24 and 25 despite global market volatility caused by US-Iran tensions. The 14.2-kg domestic cylinder costs around ₹913 in Delhi and similar rates in other cities, while commercial LPG prices increased by over ₹900 last month. State-run oil companies are reportedly absorbing some losses on domestic sales. Prices are typically revised monthly based on global crude, currency, freight, and subsidy factors, providing temporary relief to households amid ongoing energy uncertainties.
