Why Domestic Rates Stayed Unchanged
Oil companies have kept domestic LPG users protected for now. International crude oil and LPG prices continue to fluctuate. Still, companies like Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum carry some costs themselves. Reports say freight charges and supply pressure have increased their losses. Even so, companies have not passed that direct burden to domestic cylinder prices yet.
Global Tensions Keep Market Nervous
Middle East tensions and Strait of Hormuz supply concerns keep global energy markets unstable. Experts believe domestic LPG rates may face pressure later. However, that risk depends on how long international prices remain elevated. For now, household users received relief through stable domestic cylinder prices on May 22.
