Could buying sweets this Diwali become more expensive?

During Diwali, the workload at sweet shops, confectioneries, hotels, and restaurants increases significantly, often leading to higher consumption of commercial LPG. Consequently, any rise in gas prices directly impacts the operating costs for these businesses. In Delhi, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was increased by ₹62.50 at the beginning of October, bringing it to ₹2,810. Meanwhile, the price stands at ₹2,954 in Kolkata and ₹3,100.50 in Patna.

This does not necessarily mean that the prices of sweets or other food items will rise immediately. Prices are also influenced by factors such as the cost of raw materials, milk, sugar, oil, labor, and other operational expenses incurred by shopkeepers. However, an increase in gas prices could certainly put pressure on business owners.

When do LPG prices change each month?

Oil companies typically review LPG cylinder prices on the first of every month. Prices for domestic and commercial cylinders are determined separately; therefore, an increase in the price of a commercial cylinder does not imply that the price of a domestic cylinder will rise at the same time.
