The increase in the price of commercial LPG cylinders is expected to have a ripple effect on various sectors, particularly those heavily reliant on LPG as a source of energy. This includes sectors like hospitality and food services, among others. While the reasons for this sudden hike have not been explicitly stated, it is speculated that fluctuating international oil prices and changes in local tax structures could be contributing factors.
