Commercial cylinder rates have jumped too
Commercial cylinder rates have jumped too, nearly ₹3,000 in Delhi and reported as high as ₹5,000-₹6,500 in other areas.
Even small 5-kg cylinders are going for ₹800 instead of the usual ₹500.
Some areas have reported commercial premiums of several hundred rupees.
Street food vendors and small shops are struggling to cope with these price hikes.
One vendor shared they paid ₹2,500 for a cylinder that was just ₹1,900 10 days ago, making it tough to stay open or keep prices low.
The Center insists there's enough domestic LPG supply and urges everyone not to hoard or buy from unauthorized sellers.
Officials say they're watching things closely and working to keep gas available at fair prices.
