Oil marketing companies have cut the price of 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinders by Rs 58.50, effective 1 July. In Delhi, this brings the new price down to Rs 1,665 per cylinder.Earlier, in June, oil firms had announced a Rs 24 cut for commercial cylinders, setting the rate at Rs 1,723.50. In April, the price stood at Rs 1,762. February saw a small Rs 7 reduction, but March reversed this slightly with a Rs 6 increase.A company official said, 'The rate of 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinders has been reduced by Rs 58.50, effective from today.' For small businesses, this cut brings much-needed relief. Hotels, restaurants and other commercial users rely heavily on this fuel for their daily operations.However, households will see no change in their kitchen budgets. The 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder price remains untouched, despite calls for a review. 'There is no change in the prices of 14.2 kg domestic cylinders,' the companies confirmed.About 90 per cent of India's total LPG is used for household cooking. The remaining 10 per cent goes to commercial, industrial and automotive sectors. Domestic cylinder prices often stay stable even when commercial rates move up or down.India's policy pegs natural gas prices to 10 per cent of the crude oil basket. The average cost of India's crude basket dropped to $64.5 per barrel in May 2025, the lowest in three years. This drop is expected to ease pressure on oil firms. If crude prices stay near $65, oil companies expect LPG-related losses to fall by about 45 per cent in financial year 2026.Over the last decade, domestic LPG connections have doubled to around 33 crore by April 2025 — a sharp rise showing how deeply cooking gas is tied to daily life in India.

Floodwater Enters Asia's Largest Sugar Mill In Haryana, Causes Rs 50 Crore Loss
New Delhi: Heavy overnight rain in Haryana caused flooding inside the Saraswati sugar mill in Yamunagar - Asia's largest compound, damaging sugar worth Rs 50 to 60 crore. According to officials, the total loss of sugar is believed to be around 40 per cent. The Yamunagar warehouse stored 2,20,000 quintals of sugar, estimated to be around Rs 97 crore. Officials of the warehouse said that rainwater, along with the overflow from a nearby drain, caused the flooding. The general manager of the Saraswati sugar mill, Rajiv Mishra, said the municipal corporation drain passes from right behind the warehouse. However, the drain was blocked due to an encroachment, causing the floodwater to enter the sugar mill. "It rained extremely heavy last night. Our security staff alerted us around midnight about water entering the premises. Due to the encroachment, the drain's level rose. Sugar, being highly hygroscopic in nature, was highly affected. We have lost around Rs 50 to 60 crore worth of sugar. But we can estimate the exact loss once we scan the entire warehouse," Mr Mishra said. According to Mr Mishra, this is the first time ever that the mill was flooded. "We have never dealt with something like this before," he said. Officials are now engaged in clearing the water at the mill using a crane. While the Saraswati sugar mill has been hit with a huge financial loss, it may not affect the local markets at large, Mr Mishra said. Experts, on the other hand, believe that if such kind of negligence by top officials continues, then it can become a big challenge not only financially but also at the level of food scarcity.

Bad news for Zomato Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto customers, now pay these fees for orders on…
Indian quick commerce platforms are going to introduce a new set of fees and handling charges like basket size levies, small-order surcharges, and even weather-related fees like rain charges, in order to increase unit-level profitability, reported by The Economic Times. Instamart, Zepto, Blinkit Costlier Delivery From this month, quick commerce companies like Instamart, Zepto, and Blinkit are going to raise the charges on those orders which do not meet a specified minimum order value (MOV). According to the ET report, these new charges will be an addition to the regular platform and service fees that are already applicable. Zepto has implemented a handling fee for orders below Rs 175. Swiggy Instamart has changed its MOV to Rs 99. Even Blinkit also applies a 'quick delivery' charge along with extra charges for bulk orders or discounted purchases. This will improve platform 'take rates' meaning overall revenue to the total gross value of orders. How Will It Impact On Industry? These rising delivery charges will impact platform management and the gap between what they earn from customers and what they pay to gig workers for delivery. These quick commerce companies also charge more handling fees on larger carts. Apart from this a surge charge may also apply during peak hours or when there is shortage of delivery boys. Some of these quick commerce players are still facing losses and in order to mitigate that they might have revised these platform fees. Blinkit faced an operational loss of Rs 178 crore during the January-March quarter.
