At the same time, the price of 5 kg FTL cylinder has also been increased by Rs 15. The relief for domestic consumers is that there has been no change in the price of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder.Commercial LPG prices increased in major citiesApart from Delhi, the prices of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder have also increased in other major cities.
