LPG price up on hike in dealer commission

The price of subsidized cooking gas refills increased by Rs 3.46 each on Tuesday as the government raised dealer commission by more than 9% to offset their rising costs such as salary, power and rentals.

Commission has been increased to Rs 40.71 per cylinder. A refill in Delhi costs Rs 410.50 and would now be delivered to consumers for Rs 413.96.
