New Delhi:
The price of commercial LPG, used by hotels and other commercial establishments, was on Tuesday hiked by Rs 105 to its second-highest level but rates of gas sold to households remained on freeze.
The price of a 19-kg commercial cylinder has been hiked to Rs 2,012 from Rs 1,907. This is the second-highest rate.
LPG rates are revised on the 1st of every month based on the price of benchmark fuel in the previous month.
The price of domestic cooking gas LPG, sold to households, has not been changed since October when it rose to Rs 899.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder.
The hiatus in those rates came after criticism from the Opposition over prices being hiked by Rs 90 in the previous six months. Just like LPG, petrol and diesel prices too have been on a freeze since early November 2021. (PTI)
