Price of non-subsidised cooking
gas (LPG) was on Tuesday hiked
by Rs 16.50 per cylinder and that
of jet fuel by over half-a-per cent
after international oil prices
surged due to the ongoing Iraq
crisis.
The increase in rates of non-
subsidised LPG and ATF
accompanies the Rs 1.69 a litre
hike in petrol and 50 paisa a litre
in diesel announced yesterday.
The price of non-subsidised LPG,
which customers buy after using
up their quota of 12 subsidised
cylinders, was raised by Rs 16.50
per 14.2-kg cylinder, the first hike
in six months.
Each non-subsidised 14.2-kg
cooking gas cylinder will now
cost Rs 922.50 in Delhi, up from
Rs 906, according to Indian Oil
Corp (IOC), the nation's largest oil
firm.
Non-subsidised LPG rates were
last month cut by Rs 23.50 per
cylinder.
A subsidised LPG cylinder in Delhi
costs Rs 414. Today's hike breaks
the declining trend that started in
February with a Rs 107 cut in
rates to Rs 1,134 per cylinder.
