The rates of non-subsidised LPG cylinders are usually reviewed on a monthly basis and any changes are implemented on the first day of every month. Cooking gas rates vary in different parts across the country due to local taxes.
The prices of LPG cylinders in the country- cooking and commercial. are determined by the state-run oil marketing companies. The government subsidies a total of 12 cylinders of 14.2 kilograms each per household every year. The customer has to make any additional purchases of the LPG cylinders at the market price. The amount of subsidy provided by the government on the annual quota of 12 refills varies from month to month. The subsidy is determined broadly by factors such as crude oil and foreign exchange rates.
