Uses of LPG and How it Can Impact Overall Prices?

Many of us don’t even know about the LPG full form. LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. It is crucial for many of us. Particularly in areas where natural gas is unavailable or subject to extreme load shedding, LPG becomes a crucial resource for cooking and heating. It is also widely used in restaurants, rickshaws, and various industries as a fuel source.

The increase in LPG prices can have many impacts on the common people, especially low-income families, affecting their essential expenses. Furthermore, it may directly contribute to price hikes in restaurants & small food stalls, rickshaw fares, and products associated with industries that rely on LPG as fuel.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s a news that will not impact the daily lives of people immensely. But if we compare today’s LPG rate (Rs. 251.30) with its rate in June 2024 (Rs. 234.60), the difference of +Rs. 16.71 may hurt people. On the contrary, the petrol & diesel prices have gone down which is the reason why many people are confused about why the government has increased the LPG price instead of decreasing it. Also, let’s hope that the gas will be available at the rate stated above as the market rate is generally higher than the government rate. Moreover, the worsening issue in the Middle East may escalate the LPG price at any time in the coming days.
