Commercial gas cylinder prices in Nagpur have skyrocketed. The cost of a 19 kg cylinder has surged to ₹3,291, sending traders into a frenzy. Over the past few months, gas cylinder prices have been rising continuously, increasing costs for small and medium businesses. This surge is directly impacting their profits, with many traders forced to shut down operations altogether.
Local traders attribute the price hike to the sharp rise in global crude oil prices. Additionally, changes in government policies and taxes are also being cited as major contributing factors.
