Households will now have to spend more on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as national oil marketing companies on May 7 increased the price of the 14.2-kg cylinder by ₹50.
The second such revision in under two months, the increase pushes up the price of a domestic cylinder of cooking gas to more than ₹1,000 in Chennai and Kolkata, while taking it to ₹999.50 in Delhi and Mumbai.
Households in Hyderabad, which have been paying more than ₹1,000 ever since the previous increase on March 22, now need to set aside ₹1,052 for a cylinder.
