New Delhi: Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has said that the rise in international fuel prices has led to an increase in the price of cooking gas.
Two days ago the price of cooking gas was raised by 50 rupees. In this regard, Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said in the Lok Sabha: From April 2021 to February 2022, the price of natural gas in the international market has risen by more than 37 per cent.
