LPG Prices Controlled Despite Global Surge

Описание: | On LPG prices, the government has absorbed a significant part of the cost increase to protect consumers. The current price of a domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi is ₹913, even after a ₹60 increase. Without government intervention, the market price would have been much higher. For PMUY beneficiaries under the Ujjwala scheme, the price is ₹613, and the recent ₹60 increase translates to less than ₹0.80 per day for a PMUY household. It is also important to note that although the Saudi Contract Price, an international LPG pricing benchmark, has increased by about 41% since July 2023, the PMUY price has actually fallen by 32% during the same period due to government support: Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary (Marketing & Oil Refinery), Petroleum Ministry
