Undercover probe finds Delhi LPG cylinders sold at ₹4,300
An undercover probe just revealed that buying an LPG cylinder in Delhi can set you back as much as ₹4,300 — even though the official price is only ₹913.
So, while authorities say there's enough supply, the reality on the ground tells a different story: people are paying nearly five times more for a basic necessity.
Delhi unregulated sellers charge ₹4,500
Turns out, there's a whole network making this possible. From Cake Chowk to Maujpur, dealers and even regular shops are openly selling cylinders at inflated prices, sometimes up to ₹4,500 each.
With concerns over fuel supplies due to the ongoing crisis in the Gulf and authorities maintain there is no shortage of LPG, many have no choice but to turn to these unregulated sellers for their cooking gas needs.
It's a tough situation that highlights just how much everyday folks are being squeezed by supply problems.
