Can LPG become expensive again? (Expert Analysis)
Experts in the auto and energy sector believe that if the prices of Crude Oil and LPG remain high in the international market, then the government and oil companies will face a crisis:
-
Increasing losses of companies: According to government data, the sale of each domestic LPG cylinder to government oil marketing companies (OMCs) by June 2026 is expected to cost around Rs. Heavy loss of ₹500 to ₹700 (Under-recovery) Had to be lifted.
-
The government has two options: To bridge this increasing deficit, the government will have the option of either increasing the burden of subsidy on LPG, or directly increasing the prices of domestic gas cylinders and passing the burden on the pockets of common consumers. The second possibility becomes stronger in case global prices remain high for a long period of time.
Advice for consumers: At present, the general public has got a big relief due to no increase in prices on July 17. But considering the international geopolitical equations, the possibility of revision in LPG prices in the coming weeks cannot be completely ruled out. In such a situation, to keep the budget balanced, consumers should keep an eye on the updates on fuel supply and prices in the coming days.
