The reduced price has come into effect from Saturday (August 1). Commercial LPG cylinder prices for the 19 kg variant have dropped by Rs 202 in Delhi and Rs 209 in Kolkata. Following this revision, commercial cylinders will now cost Rs 2,728 in Delhi and Rs 2,872.50 in Kolkata starting Thursday. However, prices for domestic LPG cylinders used by households remain unchanged, according to several reports. This marks the second reduction in commercial LPG prices, following a series of sharp hikes in recent months, with the first cut occurring in July. Both commercial and domestic cooking gas consumers had earlier faced repeated price increases as global LPG markets were affected by supply disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/360-degree-cameras-and-more-ayodhya-ram-temple-starts-video-recording-every-donation-amid-donation-theft-embezzlement-probe-1785559540790">360-degree cameras and more: Ayodhya Ram Temple starts video-recording every donation amid donation theft, embezzlement probe</a><h3>Escalating geopolitical tensions</h3>The recent reduction comes after a price cut announced on July 1, when oil marketing companies reduced the price of a commercial LPG cylinder by Rs 183.50, bringing the retail price in Delhi down to Rs 2,930 per cylinder.
