“Oil companies had said that there would be no disruption in gas supply for 70 days. Therefore, we expect the concerned Union Ministers to take immediate action in this regard and resume commercial gas supply and provide support to the hotel industry,” the Association's notice read. The prices of the LPG cylinders – both domestic and commercial – increased as oil companies factored in increased energy prices in view of the Middle-East conflict. Meanwhile, commercial LPG, the one used by establishments such as hotels and restaurants, now costs ₹1,883 in Delhi. Earlier this month, the price of commercial LPG was increased by ₹114.5 per 19-kg cylinder.
