Pune restaurants raise prices 5-15% after ₹991 LPG hike
Grabbing a meal out in Pune just got more expensive. Restaurants across the city have bumped up menu prices by 5-15% after a sharp ₹991 hike in commercial LPG cylinder rates.
With fuel costs rising, eateries are scrambling for ways to manage expenses and keep their doors open.
Mixed restaurant responses to LPG hike
Different spots are handling things their own way: Burger Craft is considering increasing prices on part of its menu but also rolling out a new mango-themed lineup.
At Spring Onion, dishes that use lots of LPG, like rice and gravies, may see price hikes, while starters cooked on induction might stay the same.
Some owners worry that too many increases could turn diners away, but others, like Ajinkya Udane from NRAI Pune, believe regulars will stick around as long as the food and vibes stay strong.
