Petroleum Minister gave this answer in the Parliament

New Delhi. The increasing price of gas cylinder sometimes spoils the budget of the people. People have been demanding for a long time to reduce the price of gas cylinders. In such a situation, if the prices of cylinders come down, then it can be a great relief for the people. Meanwhile, big information is coming out about LPG cylinders. In fact, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Thursday that if the price of fuel comes down in the international market, then the prices of LPG cylinders can be reduced.

He pointed out that domestic LPG cylinders can be sold at “even more affordable rates” if the international price of the fuel comes down from the current price of $750 per metric ton. During the Question Hour in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, many issues arose along with the prices of domestic gas cylinders. Regarding the prices of gas cylinders, he said that the international price is determined by “various factors”.

Rs 1053 gas price in Delhi
Responding to DMK MP Kalanidhi Veeraswamy’s question on the price of domestic LPG in the Lok Sabha, Puri said the government is sensitive to the needs of consumers, especially those from the most vulnerable sections. Puri said that the retail selling price (RSP) of a domestic LPG cylinder (14.2 kg) is Rs 1053 in Delhi.

Government did not increase the prices
An increase of more than 330 percent has been registered in the prices of gas in Saudi Arabia, but the government has increased the prices of cooking gas very little in comparison. In such a situation, if there is a reduction in the prices of gas in Saudi Arabia, then its effect will also be seen on the LPG cylinders available in the country.

These people can get subsidy
According to the information, let us tell you that in earlier times every person was given subsidy on gas cylinder, but now the subsidy on gas cylinder has been stopped completely. If subsidy starts on gas cylinder then who will get it? Let us tell you that if this happens then the government will first start giving subsidy on gas cylinders to the poor people.
