Dark days ahead for domestic consumers; LPG cylinder price hiked by Rs 60

NEW DELHI: The fear became real as the price of domestic LPG cylinders was increased by Rs 60 per 14.2 kg cylinder across the country. This comes in the wake of the West Asian conflict. Along with this, the price of LPG cylinders for commercial purposes has also been increased by Rs 115. The price increase will come into effect from Saturday, March 7. The increase in the price of commercial cylinders will be a setback for hotels, restaurants and small commercial establishments.
