Uses of LPG and How Does It Impact Overall Prices?
Most of us do not know about the complete form of LPG. LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. This is important for most of us. In particular, in areas where natural gas is not available or the load is heavy, LPG becomes an important source for cooking and heating. It is also widely used as a fuel source in restaurants, rickshaws, and various industries.
The increase in LPG prices can affect the basic costs of the general public, especially low-income families. It can also directly contribute to the increase in the price of restaurants and small food shops, the cost of small transportation, and related products that rely on LPG as fuel.
