Reasons Why Gas Price Didn’t Increase Today But Still Costs So Much?

Oil prices have been rising because of the developments in the energy market and international turmoil in the Middle East region. Rising crude oil prices globally push up gas prices in India. India relies heavily on imports to meet its LPG needs. So any volatility in the international gas market affects domestic supplies.

Industry experts point out several variables contribute to gas price variation in different cities. Some of these are – crude oil price, exchange rate, international freight, local transportation of LPG, and state-level taxes. However, middle-class households can take a big hit from these hikes as cooking gas has become a necessity. A small price rise means more deductions from their salaries. Similarly, for small businesses like restaurants, commercial cylinder prices have gone through the roof in the past few weeks.

Will Prices Go Up Tomorrow?

Gas prices are unlikely to remain consistent in the coming days. If international oil prices spike or any other disturbance occurs in the international market, we may see prices revise upwards.

Takeaways

Today, gas prices have not gone up further, but they are still expensive. If international factors remain volatile, LPG prices are expected to see revisions soon.
