After commercial cylinders, have domestic cylinders also become costlier? Check the rates now.
A major shock came just before the festive season when the price of the 19 kg commercial gas cylinder was hiked by ₹62.50 to ₹71.50. Fortunately, there was no change in the price of domestic gas cylinders.
LPG cylinders are widely used for cooking in India; therefore, fluctuations in their prices directly impact household kitchen budgets. While ordinary consumers keep an eye on domestic cylinder rates, those running restaurants, hotels, *dhabas*, and catering services closely monitor commercial LPG prices, as this constitutes a significant and regular part of their daily expenses.

Why do rates vary across locations?
Retail prices of LPG cylinders are influenced by several factors, such as currency fluctuations, transportation costs, and applicable taxes. State governments levy Value Added Tax (VAT) and local taxes on LPG cylinders at their own discretion.
Since tax rates differ from state to state, cylinder prices change as soon as one crosses state borders. For instance, there is a difference of a few rupees in prices between Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) and Delhi due to variations in the tax structure.
Gas cylinders are transported from refineries or LPG bottling plants to distributors in your city via trucks or trains. Consequently, the greater the distance between the plant and the city, the higher the transportation cost. Dealer commissions also influence LPG cylinder prices.
