What caused LPG price hike The ongoing West Asia conflict has caused volatility in the oil market due to supply disruption and shortage. The impact of this energy crisis can now be seen in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder prices. Last month, the government hiked the 14.2 kg domestic and 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder prices by ₹60 and ₹144.5, respectively.
The price revision on Wednesday is linked to the widening conflict between Iran and the US-Israel. Since the war began late in February, global oil prices have shot up almost 50% due to disruptions to energy supply chains.
On the first day of every month, state-owned Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum update ATF and LPG prices based on international benchmarks and the exchange rate.
After a ₹2 per litre reduction in March last year, petrol and diesel prices have remained frozen. While petrol currently costs ₹94.72 per litre in Delhi, diesel costs ₹87.62 per litre.
