Public sector undertaking oil marketing companies have brought down the price of commercial 19 kg liquefied petroleum gas cylinders. This reduction comes into effect from Thursday, September 1.
The reduction ranges from ₹96 to ₹108 a bottle across the country. In Chennai, the price has been cut by ₹96 from ₹2,141 to ₹2,045. Oil marketing companies usually revise prices on the first of every month. A distributor said they hoped that domestic LPG prices would be brought down soon. “It would bring much-needed relief to consumers, who have been hit hard by rise in petrol and diesel prices,“ he said.
However, prices are yet to be brought down to last September’s level when it cost ₹1,831 a cylinder in Chennai. Prices have been coming down since May 1 when it was ₹2,508 a bottle in the city.
