Gas cylinder has become expensive with 50 rupees, new prices applied from today

New -delhi: By placing another burden on the domestic budget, the central government has increased the prices of domestic LPG cylinders by £ 50 since April 8, 2025. Now LPG cylinders will be available in various cities of the country at expensive prices, which will make the bag of the ordinary man more loose. This decision of the government will not only affect the urban families, but the beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme will also have to carry it. Earlier, when the price of gas cylinders was changed, consumers were relieved of £ 100. But now, again, ordinary citizens who face inflation will have to pay more money for gas cylinders. Petroleum Minister gave information about the rise in prices, Petroleum Minister Hardep Singh Puri confirmed this increase, saying that the price of domestic LPG gas cylinders was increased by £ 50 across the country, and that these new rates had been implemented since April 8, 2025. After the price of the domestic gas cylinder in Delhi, the major of the major of the major of the major of the country up to £ 853. New prices of LPG cylinders in various major cities of the country were as follows: Delhi: £ 803 → £ 853 kolkata: £ 829 £ £ £ 802.50 → £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £ £. → 68.50.5068.50.50.5068.50 because LPG cylinder is the basic need of each household. Especially the families who are already upset about inflation of food items and other essential things can be another shock. Ujjwala scheme also found the burning of inflation under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, the beneficiaries who had previously subsidized gas cylinders for £ 500, and now they will have to spend £ 550 for the same cylinder. That is, even weak and lower income people did not get relief this time. The government has made many promises about the Ujjwala scheme that it will easily get LPG available to poor women, but now the beneficiaries of this scheme must spend more money than bags. If we look at the previous increase and take a look at the Ghatoti, then the prices of gas cylinders change from time to time. In March 2023, the central government raised the prices of domestic gas cylinders. At that time, the price rose from £ 1053 to £ 1103. Previously, between June 1, 2021 and March 1, 2023, the price of cylinders was increased ten times. During this time, consumers received no special news on relief. Once in August 2023, however, the public received some relief by cutting £ 100 in August 2023, but now it has returned to inflation. The increase in the price of gas cylinders directly on the ordinary man’s pocket has a direct impact on the middle class and lower class families. On the one hand, the prices of cultivation of vegetables, grains and other everyday items break the back of the people, on the other hand the budget gets worse due to the rise in the price of LPG. In the contemporary era, where revenue is limited and inflation is unbridled, every £ 50 increases the monthly budget of families. Increasing the kitchen costs also affects other household expenses – such as children’s education, electricity bills, medical expenses, etc. What does the government say? The government argues that fluctuations in crude oil and gas prices in the international market also affect the local market. In such a situation, the increase in the prices of gas cylinders is needed. At the same time, sources in the Petroleum Ministry say this growth has been done in the light of the market situation, so that the oil companies of the government can be saved from shortage. The attack of the opposition targeted the central government over this increase in the prices of gas cylinders. Many political parties have said that this decision is against the poor and the general public. People also express their displeasure on social media. The leader of Congress Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet: “Gas cylinders expensive, milk expensive, vegetable expensive, but the government’s priority is publicity. What about the general public?” The opinion of experts, experts on economic matters, believes that this increase may also affect the inflation rate. When LPG is expensive, services such as hotels, Dhabas, food delivery, etc. Also their prices, which increase inflation in general. Experts believe that if the government wants to relieve the poor class, the subsidy given in the Ujjwala scheme needs to be further increased so that they can withstand this price increase. What could be the option of relief? The government can reactivate subsidy. In the Ujjwala scheme, the subsidy amount can be increased from £ 500 to £ 700 or £ 800. Alternative energy sources such as biogas and electric cuisine must be promoted. A low -cost -cost kitchen scheme can be implemented in rural areas. Conclusion: Instead of relief, inflation incurred from April 8, 2025, the price of gas cylinders increased by £ 50, and once again there is a direct attack on the public’s pocket. The government can justify this by linking it to the situation in the international market, but the reality is that its effect has reached the kitchen of the ordinary man. It is still necessary to see what steps the government is taking to reduce the burden of this rising inflation in the coming months, or the public will have to scorch further in this inflation fire.
