The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has hiked the price of LPG or liquefied petroleum gas to Rs. 2,130 per cylinder.
As per the new decision of the NOC board of directors, per cylinder would cost Rs 2,130 in the market against the existing price of Rs 1,470.
However, a meeting of the NOC board of directors decided to give to the domestic users a subsidy of Rs 550 per cylinder of the LP gas.
