How are LPG cylinder prices decided?
**International Market:** India imports about 60% of its LPG requirement; Therefore, global prices of crude oil and gas have a direct impact on the domestic cylinder price.
**Dollar-Rupee Exchange Rate:** Fluctuations in the value of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar also affect the price of LPG in the country.
**State-level taxes:** Local VAT and distributor transport charges vary from state to state. Because of this there is a slight difference in prices between cities.
