The revision in rates has taken place due to the latest increase in the fuel prices.

With this, authorities have increased the price for regulators, pipes, passbook, additional gas connection and security deposit.

If someone takes two cylinders, then they will have to pay Rs 4,400 as security money for the cylinder vs Rs 2,900 earlier as security.

Also, the security amount of the 5 kg cylinder has now been increased to Rs 1,150 instead of Rs 800 charged earlier.
