In the last six months, LPG prices had risen by Rs 140 per 14.2-kg cylinder.

LPG cylinder rates are revised at the beginning of each month based on the international benchmark rate of LPG and the US dollar and rupee exchange rate.

The LPG price increase comes when petrol and diesel prices are at all-time highs across the country and are inching towards a three-digit figure in several metro cities.

LPG is only available at market prices throughout the country, though the government provides subsidies to a select group of consumers.

Since November of last year, international crude oil and petroleum product prices have been steadily rising. As India is largely import-dependent on crude oil and the prices are market-linked, the increase in global prices increases the domestic cost of petroleum products.
