Citizens paying for PM's foreign policy failures: Cong on LPG price hike

The Congress on Saturday attacked the government over the rise in prices of domestic LPG cylinders and asked why the people of the country were being made to bear the consequences of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy "failures". In a post on X, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the price of domestic LPG cylinders has been hiked by Rs 60 and claimed that a profit of Rs 115 is earned in commercial LPG. "First, the benefits of lower international prices were snatched from the public. Now, the people who are already burdened due to inflation are being made to sweat. The Modi government, which boasts 'sab changa si' (all is well) when war breaks out, is helpless in providing adequate oil-gas, fertilizer," he said. Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said the Modi government had earlier said that there was sufficient supply and the America-Israel-Iran war would have no impact on the country's energy security.

Domestic LPG cylinder price rises ₹60, commercial up ₹115 amid Iran war

The prices of domestic LPG and commercial cylinders were hiked by a steep Rs 60 and Rs 114.5, respectively, amid rising energy costs linked to the West Asia conflict. Non-subsidised LPG, the one that common household users other than the Ujjwala beneficiaries use in their kitchens, will now cost Rs 913 per 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi as against Rs 853 previously, according to the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) website. This is the second increase in prices in less than a year. Industry officials said the increase follows a steep rise in global energy prices since the breakout of military conflict in West Asia. Despite the price increase, cooking gas in India is priced at the lowest when compared with neighbouring countries, they said. The price increase, the website showed, is effective from March 7. This is the second increase in rates in 11 months. Prices were last hiked by Rs 50 in April last year. In Mumbai, non-subsidised LPG now costs Rs 912.50, Rs 939 in Kolkata and Rs 928.50
