Nagpur: Commercial LPG prices on Monday were cut by Rs 171.5 per kg in line with softening international trend. This is the second straight reduction in rates. Prices were cut by Rs 91.5 per 19-kg cylinder on April 1.
However, prices of domestic LPG cylinders have not been revised. Most non-Ujjwala users do not receive any government subsidies, hence they will be required to pay this price when purchasing cooking gas refills.

The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana provided 9.58 crore impoverished people with free LPG connections with a subsidy of Rs 200 per cylinder. The actual cost per cylinder for them will be Rs 903. Depending on local taxes, rates vary from state to state.
However, the price of petrol and diesel remained frozen for a record-breaking 11th consecutive month.
