How are LPG prices determined?
LPG cylinder prices depend on several factors. Primarily, they are determined based on the Import Parity Price (IPP), which includes the price of gas in the international market, the dollar-rupee exchange rate, freight, insurance, and taxes. Since taxes and logistics costs vary from state to state, there are differences in LPG prices across different states.
