A 29-rupee hike on domestic cooking gas cylinders has hit Delhi, pushing the cost for a 14.2-kg refill to 942 rupees. Effective June 7, the adjustment forces families to recalibrate their monthly budgets as the price climbs from its previous 913-rupee threshold, tightening the squeeze on daily living expenses.

While the shift is intended to align with market fluctuations, the timing presents a challenge for residents already managing constrained finances. Each cylinder now demands a larger share of household income, marking a notable uptick in basic utility costs for the capital's population. Although these figures reflect the latest adjustments reported by local outlets, global verification remains pending as currency markets hover near a rate of 94.9450 rupees to the dollar.
