LPG cylinder prices hiked by Rs 50 for both subsidised, non-subsidised consumers

  • Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president KT Rama Rao criticized the Centre for increasing LPG cylinder prices by Rs 50, stating it was unjustified given low international oil rates.
  • The price hike for LPG cylinders will affect both Ujjwala scheme beneficiaries and general users, raising costs to Rs 553 and Rs 853, respectively, effective from April 8, according to Union Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.
  • The Centre also increased excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 2, intending to relieve financial pressure on oil marketing companies.
  • Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi government of looting citizens over the LPG price increase, saying it fails to address the backlog and instead shifts burdens onto consumers.
