New Delhi, June 9 -- India has raised domestic LPG cylinder prices by Rs.29 per unit with effect from 7 June, lifting the cost of a 14.2-kg cooking gas cylinder to Rs.942 in Delhi and Rs.968 in Kolkata, the second upward revision in under three months as oil marketing companies continue to absorb steep losses on every cylinder sold.

The latest revision follows a Rs.60-per-cylinder increase on 7 March, meaning household cooking gas has risen by Rs.89 in total since the start of that month. Despite the back-to-back increases, the government maintains that consumers across categories remain heavily subsidised relative to the actual cost of supply.
