Earlier, on March 7, oil companies had increased LPG prices by Rs 60 per cylinder, citing disruptions in global energy markets linked to the conflict in West Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In April, commercial LPG cylinder prices were raised by Rs 195.50 across metropolitan cities amid heightened tensions in West Asia. Following that revision, a 19-kg commercial cylinder was priced at Rs 2,208 in Kolkata, Rs 2,031 in Mumbai, and Rs 2,246.50 in Chennai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
