LPG prices in India are determined by state-run oil companies and are revised on a monthly basis. These prices are influenced by various factors, including international market trends, crude oil prices, and currency exchange rates.
Regional Price Variations
LPG prices vary across different states and cities in India due to factors such as transportation costs, local taxes, and other levies.
