LPG Crisis: Gas Agencies Profit Rs 73/Cylinder, But Net Profit is Just Rs 20-22
•India faces a major LPG crisis due to the Israel-Iran-America conflict, leading to supply shortages and delayed deliveries.
•Gas agencies receive approximately Rs 73.08 commission per 14.2 kg domestic cylinder, but net profit after expenses is only Rs 20-22.
•Rising 'panic booking' in Maharashtra has led to increased booking intervals (25 days urban, 45 days rural) and reports of black marketing.
•Government is increasing imports from Russia and America, and cutting commercial gas supply by 10-15% to prioritize domestic use.
•Global politics and supply chain disruptions, not gas agencies, are the primary reasons for rising LPG prices; no significant drop expected until Middle East tensions subside.
