Domestic LPG prices remained unchanged on Thursday, holding steady a day after the announcement of a temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The
pause in hostilities eased immediate geopolitical risk concerns. Earlier, commercial LPG prices were sharply increased by Rs 195.50 per cylinder on April 1, driven by a rise in global crude oil rates amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Rising tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States had earlier intensified concerns around LPG (cooking gas) supplies both in India and globally. Amid rising demand and pressure on supplies, the government took a series of important measures to stabilise domestic LPG availability. Decisions taken during March and April signal tighter regulations aimed at ensuring equitable distribution of cooking gas across the country. As part of these measures, on March 9, in response to surging demand, the government extended the lock‑in period to 25 days in urban areas to curb excessive consumption. Subsequently, on March 12, even stricter norms were introduced for rural regions, where the gap between cylinder bookings was increased to 45 days. These measures aim to manage limited supplies and ensure fair distribution among consumers in villages.
