Press Release on Price Revision of Domestic Subsidized LPG
New Delhi   31-Jan-2019

The price of Non-Subsidised LPG at Delhi will decrease by Rs.30 per cylinder w.e.f. 1st February 2019, due to fall in price of LPG in international market and strengthening of US$-rupee exchange rate. Accordingly, the upfront cash payment by the consumer of domestic LPG will also reduce by Rs.30/cylinder. Domestic LPG consumer will now be required to make upfront cash payment of Rs.659/- cylinder in place of Rs.689/- cylinder.

As domestic LPG prices are subsidized by Government, the Effective Price after subsidy to consumer will reduce by Rs.1.46/cylinder (from Rs. 494.99 in January 2019 to Rs.493.53 for the month of February 2019). The reduction is on account of GST impact on decrease in price of Non-Subsidised LPG.

The balance amount is borne as subsidy (Rs 165.47/cylinder) by the Central Government and is being transferred to the Bank account of LPG consumers after purchase and delivery of a refill.
