The government on Sunday hiked the price of commercial LPG by Rs 25 per cylinder. The move is likely to pinch the common man in the new year as commercial establishments could hike food prices to cover their costs.The price of domestic cylinders, however, remains unchanged.
The hike in commercial LPG comes after seven consecutive reductions.
A commercial cylinder in Delhi will cost Rs 1,769 with the new hike in effect. The 19-kg cylinder in Mumbai stands at Rs 1,721, in Kolkata at Rs 1,870, and at Rs 1,971 in Chennai.
