Why Do LPG Prices Differ Across States?
- Import Parity Price (IPP) , prices depend on international crude oil rates, freight charges, and dollar–rupee exchange rate.
- State Taxes , each state levies different taxes and local charges, affecting the final price.
- Subsidy , under Ujjwala Scheme, eligible consumers receive subsidy directly in their bank accounts.
Impact of Transport and Distribution Costs
- In remote and hilly areas, transportation costs are higher, resulting in increased LPG prices.
- Large cities with better supply chains generally enjoy lower prices.
- Dealer margins and local regulations also influence the final LPG cost.
With these updated LPG prices, consumers can now manage their household and business budgets more efficiently for coming month.
