But, how is the price calculated?

Let's find out⤵️

LPG pricing in India is done on the basis of a formula: Import Parity Price (IPP)

The IPP is determined based on gas prices in the international market, as a major portion of India's consumption is satisfied through imports.

But, how is IPP calculated? 🤔

#lpgpricehike

IPP is calculated as per Saudi Aramco’s LPG price, which is the world’s largest producer.

The price includes costs like:
- Free on board (FOB) price,
- Ocean freight,
- Custom duties,
- Port charges and Insurance cost

#lpgcylinder

The international price for LPG fluctuates in accordance with the price of its main raw material, i.e., Crude Oil.

The price thus calculated in US$ is then converted to IN₹.

#PetrolPrice

On the international price, certain charges are added in India like:

- Inland freight costs
- Oil companies’ margins
- Bottling costs
- Marketing expenses, Dealer commissions
- GST

#CrudeOil

The final price thus calculated gives the retail selling price for non-subsidised cooking gas cylinders for consumers across different states.
