(Photo by Indranil MUKHERJEE / AFP)(AFP)As the war in West Asia continues to disrupt energy markets, several Indian states have reported cases of panic buying amid anxiety over a likely LPG price hike starting May 1.
Both domestic and commercial LPG cylinders have witnessed at least one hike each since March. These changes, media reports suggested, are likely to be accompanied by tweaks to the booking and delivery systems as the government plans tighter checks on the distribution of cooking gas.
To shield consumers from rising global oil prices linked to the Middle East crisis, the government has cut excise duty on petrol and diesel by ₹10 per litre while raising export levies on diesel and aviation turbine fuel.
Changes in LPG rates so far
Since the start of the US-Iran war on 28 February, domestic LPG prices have been revised once, but the cost of commercial cooking gas has been increased twice.
The price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder was raised by ₹60 in March. No revisions to rates have been made since then. The price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was first increased by ₹144 in March, followed by another hike of nearly ₹200 on 1 April.
