Why it matters
Rising energy costs directly impact household budgets and reflect broader inflationary pressures in the Indian economy.
With the latest ₹29 hike in the price of a cylinder of domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG ), in Chennai, a cylinder now costs ₹ 957.50 from Sunday (June 7, 2026). The last price revision was done on March 7, when it went up by ₹60 per refill. In a span of three months it has gone up by ₹89/14.2 kg cylinder.
