Domestic LPG prices hold steady amid geopolitical tensions. Household cooking gas cylinders remain unchanged across major Indian metros on May 18, with a 14.2-kg cylinder costing 913 rupees in Delhi. However, commercial LPG prices have surged past 3,000 rupees per 19-kg cylinder in the capital, driven by multiple upward revisions in recent months. The government's decision to freeze household rates reflects a deliberate strategy to shield consumers from inflationary pressures, even as state-run fuel retailers face mounting input costs. Meanwhile, a vessel carrying 20,000 metric tonnes of LPG arrived in Gujarat after crossing the Strait of Hormuz, signaling continued supply efforts despite escalating tensions in West Asia and rising global energy costs.
