Since the beginning of the US, Iran, and Israel tensions, gas prices in India have been continuously rising. Now, in cities across the country, the price has reached up to ₹3,071.50.
From May 1, commercial gas is being sold at this price across India.
Delhi: ₹3,071.50 (Hike: ₹993) Mumbai: ₹3,046.50 (Hike: ₹993) Kolkata: ₹3,355 (Hike: ₹994) Chennai: ₹3,259.50 Bengaluru: ₹3,174.50 Hyderabad: ₹3,315
After the elections ended in five states, the price of commercial gas increased significantly. A hike of ₹993 has been seen, which has given another blow to inflation to both the common people and, especially, business owners. Because of this, prices in hotels and restaurants are expected to rise further, which is yet another burden of inflation for the general public.
On the increase in commercial cylinder prices, Rahul Gandhi has attacked the government, calling it an "Election Bill.”
Rahul Gandhi wrote on the X platform, “The first blow is on gas, and the next blow will be on petrol and diesel.”
He said that…
“It had been said—after the elections, the heat of inflation will arrive.
Today, commercial gas cylinders are ₹993 more expensive. The biggest increase in a single day. This is the election bill.
From February till now: an increase of ₹1,380—an 81% rise in just 3 months.
Tea sellers, roadside eateries, hotels, bakeries, and sweet makers—everyone's kitchen burden has increased. And its impact will be felt on your plate too.
First, the blow on gas, next, the blow on petrol and diesel.
”
The increase in commercial gas cylinder prices will have the biggest impact on hotel and restaurant food prices. In the coming time, menu prices are likely to rise, which may put an additional financial burden on common people.
