Domestic cooking gas LPG price was hiked by Rs 3.50 per cylinder where now the Non-subsidised LPG now costs Rs 1,003 per 14.2-kg cylinder as per to a price notification of state fuel retailers.
According to the reports, the latest hike comes at a time when people are already struggling with rising petrol and diesel prices. Non-subsidised cooking gas is the one that consumers buy after exhausting their quota of 12 cylinders at subsidised or below-market rates.
However, the government pays no subsidy on LPG in most cities and the price of the refill that consumers, including the poor women who got free connection under the much-talked Ujjwala scheme, is the same as non-subsidised or market price LPG.
