The prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cooking gas cylinders across all categories including subsidised gas on Wednesday were hiked by Rs 25 per cylinder– the third straight increase in rates in less than two months.
After the price revision, LPG in Kohima costs Rs. 904 per 14.2-kg cylinder and in Dimapur Rs. 903 per 14.2-kg cylinder, according to a price notification.
This is the third straight increase in prices in less than two months. Subsidised and non-subsidised LPG rates were hiked by Rs 25.50 per cylinder on July 1.
Fuel prices cut
After remaining unchanged for more than a week, the state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) Wednesday cut prices of petrol and diesel between 10-14 paise per litre across the country.
After the rate revision, petrol price in Dimapur came down to Rs.99.85 per litre while diesel price decreased to Rs.90.86 per litre.
In the state capital Kohima, petrol and diesel prices reduced to Rs.100.85 per litre and Rs.91.67 per litre respectively.
The latest cut had come in the wake of softening of oil prices on anticipation of rising production by main oil producers this month. Also, demand projections have been fluctuating in the wake of continued Covid infections across the globe.
