The price of the 14.2-kg LPG cylinder will increase from ₹803 to ₹853 for general users and from ₹503 to ₹553 per cylinder for users under the Ujjwala scheme.

The Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas also addressed a previous notification about the increased excise rate for petrol and diesel. "Let me clarify upfront on the record, this will not be passed on to the consumer," he said.
