The price of cooking gas is determined by the formula of Import Parity Price (IPP). In India, cooking gas is mostly dependent on imports, so there is a big impact of international gas prices. The raw material of cooking gas is crude oil, so the price of crude oil also has a great impact on it. The benchmark LPG price in India is Saudi Aramco’s LPG price. FOB, freight, insurance, custom duty and port duty are included in the price of gas.
