On April 13, the price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder in India remains steady after a ₹60 increase in March, while commercial LPG prices have been subject to two hikes, totaling nearly ₹200 for a 19 kg cylinder. The ongoing global energy crisis, exacerbated by tensions in West Asia, has led to a rise in crude oil prices, affecting LPG supplies. India, which imports a significant portion of its LPG, has prioritized domestic household needs, resulting in a daily sale of over 100,000 5 kg cylinders, a notable increase from pre-crisis levels. The government has also ramped up the rollout of piped natural gas (PNG) connections, activating over 424,000 new connections since March, as part of its strategy to ensure fuel availability and manage disruptions caused by the conflict in the region.
