Subsidised cooking LPG price hiked by Rs 2 per cylinder

Subsidised cooking gas (LPG) price has been hiked by Rs 2 per cylinder, the third straight monthly increase in rates as the government looked at monthly increases to cut down subsidies.

After price hike, a subsidised 14.2-kg cylinder will now cost Rs 425.09 in Delhi as against Rs 423.09 previously, according to state-owned oil firms.

This is the third straight monthly increase in subsidised cooking gas.

LPG prices were last hiked by Rs 1.93 per 14.2-kg cylinder on August 1.
