New LPG Cylinder Rules From May 1: Price Revision, OTP Delivery And Booking Policy Changes
India’s LPG consumers may need to brace for another round of changes from May 1 as rising global tensions continue to rattle fuel markets. With the ongoing West Asia crisis keeping crude prices unstable, domestic and commercial gas cylinder rates have already surged in recent weeks, and more revisions could soon follow.
LPG prices may rise again
Fuel costs have been climbing steadily since March. The price of the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder was increased by Rs 60 last month, while commercial users have faced an even sharper blow. The 19 kg commercial cylinder saw multiple hikes, with prices jumping by nearly Rs 196 in April after earlier increases in March. Since oil companies usually revise rates at the start of every month, another price adjustment in May looks likely.
Booking and delivery rules get tougher
LPG booking is no longer as flexible as before. Urban users now need to wait 25 days between bookings, compared to the earlier 21-day gap. In rural areas, this waiting period can stretch up to 45 days.
