Commercial LPG cylinder price rises to Rs 2,820 from Nov. 1
In short
The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder went up to Rs 2,820 from November 1. The reporting says the increase adds to two earlier hikes in September and October, bringing the total rise to Rs 75.
This matters because hotels and restaurants may face higher fuel bills, especially during the festive season. The report says import costs are still high, but it does not say how long the price pressure will last.
