Why is the LPG cylinder price in Hyderabad highest among metros?
The gas prices declared by the OMC are the same for the entire India. However, the LPG cylinder prices vary based on the states and cities.
Due to local taxes, Hyderabad residents have to pay the highest LPG cylinder price among all metros in India.
In Telangana, the highest rate of gas is in the Nirmal and Adilabad districts. The price of a domestic LPG cylinder in these districts is Rs 1180, whereas the least, i.e., Rs 1142, is in Bhadradri Kothagudem and Khammam districts.
