Running a small restaurant in Bangalore, these price hikes really add up over time. Last month's reduction was welcome, but this increase means our operating costs go up again. Hope the government considers small business owners too.

Thank goodness domestic rates are stable! With festival season starting, this is a big relief for families. The ₹30,000 crore compensation to oil companies seems to be working for common people. 👍

While I appreciate that household cylinders are protected, I'm concerned about the long-term sustainability of these subsidies. The ₹30,000 crore compensation comes from taxpayer money - we need more transparent pricing mechanisms.

As a housewife managing monthly expenses, I'm relieved domestic rates haven't changed. Gas cylinder prices directly affect our kitchen budget. Hope this stability continues through Diwali season! 🪔

The monthly price revisions create uncertainty for small businesses. We need more predictable pricing to plan our operations better. Still, better than the massive fluctuations we saw a few years back.
