**Are gas cylinder prices going to increase?**
After some relief in crude oil prices in the global market, the price of commercial gas cylinder was cut by ₹183.50 on July 1. In contrast, there was no change in the prices of domestic gas cylinders. However, if tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the ban on crude oil loading from Iraq continue for a long time, pressure on oil companies will increase. As a result, companies may raise prices in the coming weeks or early August to recoup their losses.
Recently, Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) has canceled plans to bring 2 million barrels of oil from Iraq using its mega tanker ‘Leela Jamnagar’. Similarly, Mangalore Refinery (MRPL) has also stopped the loading of its tanker ‘Desh Gaurav’. The Shipping Ministry has issued an advisory against sending Indian sailors to the dangerous Strait of Hormuz route as ships are being repeatedly targeted there.
