Why are prices different everywhere?
There are many reasons why the price of LPG gas cylinder varies from city to city, which include transportation expenses and distribution margin. Uniform GST is applicable on domestic LPG across the country, but there is still a difference in prices.
The cost of transporting gas from the bottling plant to your city and then to your home varies depending on the distance. This is why gas is often cheaper in cities near ports, such as Mumbai, while in remote or hilly areas its price becomes more expensive.
Additionally, gas agencies may have different expenses and margins in different cities. Due to this, there is a difference of a few rupees in the price of gas cylinder. Also, even though GST on gas cylinders is fixed at 5 percent, prices may change due to minor additional charges or minor differences in VAT imposed by local bodies in some states.
