Gas and diesel steady nationwide as Delhi LPG rises ₹29
No surprises at the gas pump this week; gas and diesel prices stayed put across India on Sunday, June 7.
But if you use LPG at home, there's a bit of a sting: the price of a 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi just jumped by ₹29 to ₹942.
This marks the second time in three months that domestic LPG rates have gone up.
Fuel prices climbed nearly ₹7.5/liter
Even though fuel prices didn't budge today, they've actually climbed by nearly ₹7.5 per liter over the past few weeks, mostly because global crude oil costs have shot up due to tensions in West Asia.
Commercial LPG cylinders are pricier too; a 19-kg one in Delhi now costs ₹3,113.50 after a recent hike.
Plus, starting June 1, the government reduced export duties on petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF), with the revised rates of ₹1.5/litre, ₹13.5/litre, and ₹9.5/litre respectively, which could keep things unpredictable for a while.
