LPG Cylinder Price On April 14: Check Domestic And Commercial Gas Rates In Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata Today

(MENAFN- Live Mint) The US-Iran conflict continues to escalate as Trump said theUS forces have launched a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas and Iran responded with threats targeting ports across the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The global energy crisis has deepened, causing a jump in crude oil prices.

India, which depends on the region for about half of its crude oil needs, 40% of its gas, and nearly 85–90% of its LPG, has also been impacted. While the country has managed to offset crude oil shortages by sourcing supplies from elsewhere, LPG availability has taken a hit. Hence, the government has prioritised LPG supply to domestic households at the cost of cuts in supplies to commercial users like hotels and restaurants.

As against the sale of about 77,000 5 kg cylinders in pre-crisis February, daily sales have topped over 1 lakh in the last two-three weeks.

Commercial cylinder prices rise twice

Domestic LPG prices have been revised once, whereas commercial cooking gas rates were revised twice in the last two months, hitting restaurants, eateries, and other businesses harder.

Notably, the price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder was raised by ₹60 in March. But no revisions in rates have been made after that, keeping domestic LPG prices steady throughout the country.

Meanwhile, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was first increased by ₹144 in March, followed by another hike of nearly ₹200 on 1 April.
