With effect from October 1, the non-subsidised LPG prices have been revised to Rs 605 per cylinder in Delhi and Rs 574.5 in Mumbai.

That marks a hike of Rs 15 per cylinder and Rs 12.5 in Delhi and Mumbai respectively.

In Kolkata and Chennai, the rates of non-subsidised LPG have been increased to Rs 630 per cylinder and Rs 620 per cylinder respectively. These rates mark a raise of Rs 13.5 per cylinder in Kolkata and Rs 13.5 per cylinder in Chennai compared to the prices last month.

The prices of 19-kilogram cylinders have been revised to Rs 1,085 per cylinder in Delhi and Rs 1,032.50 per cylinder in Mumbai.

Factors such as changes in the average international benchmark LPG prices and foreign exchange rates determine the amount of subsidy.
