UNDER PRESSURE - LPG cylinder may leave your wallet lighter by 100

Oil Ministry Weighs Hike Of 50-100 After 66% Rise In International Price Of LPG -  The oil ministry plans to raise cooking gas prices by 50-100 per cylinder as the international price of liquefied petroleum gas has jumped by almost 66% since August. The rise in global prices is hurting state-run oil firms as India imports 3 million tonnes of LPG a year.   The government will, however, take a decision on Wednesday only after weighing the political implications of a hike against the need to shore up the finances of companies such as Indian Oil Corp, which plans to raise 20,000 crore from a public issue in 2011.
