Domestic LPG cylinder prices for households remain unchanged on Monday, April 6, providing some relief to consumers despite ongoing volatility in global energy markets driven by tensions in the Middle East. The price of a 19 kg commercial Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder was first increased by ₹144 in March, followed by another hike of about ₹200 on April 1. A major factor has been disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy corridor. Uncertainty in this shipping route has constrained supply and driven up costs worldwide, contributing to the rise in LPG prices. Four of the bulk carriers had left Iranian ports, with two reporting that they were transporting food supplies, as reported by Bloomberg.
