Commercial LPG prices hiked

NEW DELHI, JUN 1 (PTI): Prices of commercial LPG – the one used in hotels and restaurants – as well as 5-kg market-priced LPG cylinders were on Monday hiked in line with global benchmarks, but rates of cooking gas used in household kitchens were kept unchanged. The price of commercial LPG was hiked by Rs 42 to Rs 3,113.50 per 19-kg cylinder in Delhi, industry sources said. The latest increase follows a sharp Rs 993 hike implemented on May 1, taking commercial LPG prices to their highest-ever levels. Prices of 5-kg free-trade LPG (FTL) cylinders were also increased by Rs 11 to Rs 821.50 per cylinder.
