The price of LPG is reviewed every month. Keeping some things in mind, a review is done and on the basis of that the prices of gas are increased or cut. The price of cooking gas is determined by the formula of Import Parity Price (IPP). In India, cooking gas is mostly dependent on imports, so there is a big impact of international gas prices. The raw material of cooking gas is crude oil, so the price of crude oil also has a great impact on it. The benchmark LPG price in India is Saudi Aramco’s LPG price. FOB, freight, insurance, custom duty and port duty are included in the price of gas.
