The latest rise in prices by Rs 50 has taken the prices of domestic cooking gas to their highest levels since February 2014.

Among metro cities, Kolkata continued to have the highest domestic LPG prices at Rs 1,129 per cylinder refill, followed by Chennai at Rs 1,118. Delhi (Rs 1,103) and Mumbai (Rs 1,102.5) remained at par.
