The narrative of India’s economic growth as one of the fastest in the world is compelling.
In a significant development benefiting LPG consumers, Public sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have reduced the cost of 19 KG commercial LPG gas cylinders by ₹ 158, as per insider information.
The revised pricing will take effect immediately, and the retail selling price of a 19kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi will now stand at ₹ 1,522.
Previously, in celebration of Raksha Bandhan, the central government extended a ₹ 200 reduction in the price of Domestic LPG as a gesture of goodwill towards the nation’s women.
