📊 How Much Is LPG Really Worth? Understanding Price per Kg

• The global average LPG price is ₹64.74 per liter.

• Since LPG has a density of 0.54 kg per liter, the price per kilogram becomes:

  ₹64.74 ÷ 0.54 = ₹119.88 per kg

Using this conversion, the international average value of a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder would be around:

14.2 kg × ₹119.88 = ₹1702.42

This shows that Indian LPG consumers are still paying far below the global average, thanks in part to government subsidies.
