New Delhi, 01 April (H.S.):

State-owned oil and gas marketing companies raised commercial LPG cylinder prices by ₹195.50 on Wednesday amid surging global crude rates triggered by the West Asia crisis. Domestic cooking gas rates remain unchanged, with new commercial rates now applicable.

According to Indian Oil's website, Delhi's 19-kg commercial cylinder now costs ₹2,078.50, up from previous levels. This follows March 1's ₹114.50 hike.

Domestic Rates Stable

Household LPG (14.2-kg) stays at ₹913 in Delhi, unchanged since March 7's ₹60 increase. Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum review ATF/LPG prices monthly on the 1st based on international benchmarks and exchange rates.

Petrol (₹94.72/litre) and diesel (₹87.62/litre) prices in Delhi remain steady since last March's ₹2/litre cut.
