The price of LPG cylinders has been increased to Rs 905 in Hyderabad, making it the second-highest in the country. This hike in LPG cylinder prices is likely to impact households across the city. The increase comes amidst rising global fuel prices and the government’s decision to gradually reduce subsidies on cooking gas. Consumers in Hyderabad are now paying Rs 71 more for a 14.2 kg cylinder compared to the previous price. The hike in LPG prices has been attributed to the increase in international crude oil prices and the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar. With the latest increase, Hyderabad now has one of the highest LPG cylinder prices in the country, second only to Kolkata. The rise in LPG prices is expected to put additional financial burden on households, especially during these challenging times. It is recommended that consumers explore options such as switching to more energy-efficient appliances or opting for alternative cooking fuels to mitigate the impact of the price hike. The government is also encouraging the use of piped natural gas as a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative to LPG. As the situation continues to evolve, consumers are advised to stay informed about any further changes in LPG prices and take necessary steps to manage their household expenses effectively.
