LPG News: Ever since the war between Iran and the US started, there was a shortage of oil and gas in India. However, now it seems that the situation may be a little normal, because now a peace agreement has been signed between the two countries. However, at present the gas situation in India has not improved yet. Meanwhile, the government has now made some changes in the guidelines of LPG cylinder. Let us tell you what.

Guidelines of oil companies and gas agencies
In fact, recently an advisory has been issued by oil companies (OMCs) and gas agencies for customers. In which it is written, ‘LPG cylinders issued to customers by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) are the property of the respective companies. These cylinders are given to customers against security deposit and should be used only by registered consumers.

transfer is illegal
Apart from this, it has been said in this notice to inform the customers that selling or transferring LPG cylinder from one person to another is also illegal. This means that the gas cylinder should remain with the person in whose name it is or to whom it belongs. Giving it to someone else will be considered illegal.

Listing on other platforms is prohibited
One of the rules of this guideline is that, listing or selling of LPG cylinder on any market or unrecognized platform is prohibited, and doing so may lead to legal action. Cylinders sold on such platforms may be fake and may pose a safety risk.

For PNG customers
Apart from this, customers who have taken Piped Natural Gas (PNG) are requested to surrender their LPG connections by visiting their respective gas distributors. On doing so their original security deposit amount will be returned.

With the arrival of these guidelines, now customers will have to be a little cautious and due to this, oil companies and gas agencies will also not face any problem in cylinder distribution.

LPG Price Hike: Due to the ongoing war between US and Iran, the prices of crude oil are increasing. Due to which its effect is being seen all over the world. The prices of petrol, diesel and gas are also continuously increasing. Talking specifically, the prices of domestic LPG cylinders in India have increased for the second time within three months. Since June 7, the price of 14.2 kg domestic cylinder has increased by Rs 29 to Rs 942 in Delhi.

Domestic gas is cheap in India
However, despite the increase in prices in the international market, LPG in India is still much cheaper than many countries of the world. According to the Petroleum Ministry, the actual cost of a domestic LPG cylinder has now crossed Rs 1,600, but the common consumer in Delhi is getting it for Rs 942. At the same time, after getting subsidy of Rs 300 per cylinder for the beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), the effective price comes to only Rs 642.

Increase in international prices
This means that even ordinary consumers are paying about Rs 700 less than the market price, while the beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme are getting even more relief. LPG import prices in India are linked to the Saudi Contract Price (Saudi CP). This price was $ 543 per ton in February, which increased to $ 775 in April and reached about $ 790 per ton in June. That means international prices have increased by about 46 percent in four months.

If the entire burden of this increase was passed on to the consumers, the cylinder would have become very expensive. But the central government and government oil companies are bearing a major part of this extra cost themselves.

LPG is cheap in India
Compared to other countries, LPG is quite cheap in India. Beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme are getting the cylinder for Rs 642, while its price in Pakistan is around Rs 1,046, in Nepal Rs 1,207, in Bangladesh Rs 1,225 and in Sri Lanka Rs 1,241. In developed countries like America and Australia, the price of a cylinder is more than Rs 1,750, while in Canada it reaches above Rs 2,400.
