Retail prices for domestic LPG cylinders, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) have held steady across India's major metropolitan areas on September 28. This consistent pricing offers relief to millions of consumers, particularly as global oil markets experience significant volatility.
State-run oil marketing companies are responsible for monthly adjustments to non-subsidised fuel rates. While global crude benchmarks influence domestic LPG prices, local taxes and transportation logistics lead to varying costs for a standard 14.2-kg domestic cylinder across different states and cities.
