Guwahati July 1, 2021: Tough times for the people. Amid rising prices of petrol, diesel and essential commodities, the price of a domestic LPG cylinder (14.2 kg) too has gone up by Rs 25.50 per cylinder. The price of commercial LPG cylinder (19 kg) was increased by Rs. 84.50 on Thursday. These hikes reflect the rise in global crude prices. 

In Assam, the cooking gas will be available for Rs 834.50 per 14.2 kg cylinder as compared to Rs 809 per 14.2 kg cylinder earlier.

LPG prices are revised at the beginning of every month and with the latest hike from July 1, LPG price now has increased by Rs 140 per cylinder in the last six months.

The price, however, remained unchanged in June.

Consumers have to pay the market price and the government is supposed to give subsidy to domestic consumers covered under the subsidy.
