“LPG prices during 2011-2014 (under the UPA regime) were much higher than the recent times”
What FACTLY found
While the LPG prices listed in the post are true for ‘Non-subsidised 14Kg Indane Gas’ (Delhi), there are some inconsistencies in the given prices. Multiple factors affect LPG prices. One of the major factors is the International FOB price of LPG. The high LPG prices in the years 2013 and 2014 were mainly because of high FOB prices in those years.
