No Relief for Domestic LPG Consumers
Although commercial cylinder prices have been reduced, the price of the 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder remains unchanged.
Household consumers will continue to pay the existing rates, as oil companies have not announced any revision for domestic LPG cylinders this month.
Why Were Commercial LPG Prices Reduced?
Commercial LPG prices had increased sharply in recent months due to rising international energy prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East.
With global market conditions showing signs of improvement, oil marketing companies have now reduced commercial LPG prices, providing relief to businesses affected by rising fuel costs.
