“We are also very sad and saddened by the increase in gas cylinder prices, but before we start criticizing, everyone should understand the situation around the world. The world is going through very serious crises. There is no transshipment and LPG is available from very limited sources,” Joshi told reporters.

He added that purchases are being made from countries that are quite far from India. “Transportation cost is high, basic is also high and insurance cost has increased due to 40-45 days of transshipment. So we also have the same concern for the common man, but at the same time the increase in price is inevitable,” he added.
