New Delhi, July 1
The price of non-subsidised cooking gas (LPG) was today hiked by Rs 16.50 per cylinder, the first hike in six months. The price of jet fuel was also increased by over half-a-per cent after international oil prices surged due to the ongoing Iraq crisis.

Each non-subsidised 14.2-kg cooking gas cylinder will now cost Rs 922.50 in Delhi, up from Rs 906, according to Indian Oil Corp (IOC), the nation’s largest oil firm. Non-subsidised LPG rates were last month cut by Rs 23.50 per cylinder. A subsidised LPG cylinder in Delhi costs Rs 414. PTI
