LPG hike: Home cooking and eating out expected to cost more
The Union government increased the price of non-subsidised domestic and commercial LPG cylinders in Bengaluru by ₹60 and ₹130 respectively, citing the impact of the conflict in West Asia on petroleum prices. This hike will raise the cost of a 14.2 kg domestic cylinder to ₹915.50 and a 19 kg commercial cylinder to ₹1,981. The Bangalore Hotels Association expressed concern that this price increase would burden consumers and businesses, urging the government to reconsider its decision. Congress workers protested against the hike with empty gas cylinders.
