LPG Gas Cylinder Update: Here’s some welcome news for families relying on LPG for their daily needs—gas cylinder prices have seen a significant drop in select regions across India. Until recently, LPG cylinders were priced above ₹1,000 in most cities. But thanks to new government policies and subsidy updates, the cost of an LPG gas cylinder has now been reduced substantially. The most impactful change has come from Haryana, where eligible families can now receive an LPG cylinder for just ₹500 under a special welfare scheme.
