03 Apr 2012 Evaluate

State-owned oil firms like Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) have hiked auto LPG prices by Rs 6 per litre, which marks the third increase this year. The hike comes on back of steep rise in international oil prices.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) used as fuel in automobiles, called Auto LPG, will now cost Rs 49.72 per litre as against Rs 43.65 per litre price till last month. Auto LPG prices were hiked by almost Rs 3 per litre on March 1 when rates were increased from Rs 40.7 per litre to Rs 43.65 a litre.
