How are gas prices determined?
In India, LPG prices are influenced by international market gas rates and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. Oil marketing companies typically review the prices of domestic and commercial cylinders on the first day of every month. However, it is not necessary for the price changes to be the same for both types of cylinders.
