This is the second successive hike in the price of commercial cylinders. In October, the prices were increased by ₹209 per cylinder across the country.

The prices of domestic LPG cylinders were last revised in August when they were slashed by ₹200 per cylinder. For Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries, the price drop of an LPG cylinder is pegged at ₹500— ₹200 as a price cut and ₹200 as an existing subsidy, which the Union cabinet approved an increase, raising it from ₹200 to ₹300 per cylinder for approximately 96 million low-income households.
A 14.2 kg LPG cylinder costs ₹603 in Delhi, ₹629 in Kolkata, ₹602.50 in Mumbai, and ₹618.50 in Chennai, respectively for beneficiaries of the Ujjwala Yojana.
Earlier, the union cabinet approved an additional 75 lakh new LPG connections under the Ujjwala scheme, which will be given in the next three years. The total cost on these connections will come to ₹1,650 crore.
