A month after cutting the price of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) cylinders by over Rs,62, state-run fuel retailers on Sunday raised the price of non-subsidised cooking gas byRs.15.50. The price of non-subsidised LPG, which consumers buy after exhausting their annual quota of 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg at subsidised rates, was today hiked to Rs.590 from Rs.574.5.
The monthly 25 paise per litre increase in kerosene price continued for the 26th month in a row. The new rates are with effect from today as LPG prices are revised on the first day of every month. The prices were hiked due to rise in input cost following the appreciation of US dollar against the Indian rupee. Simultaneously, oil firms also revised the price of ATF or air turbine fuel.
