Delhi Weddings Face Costlier Feasts: LPG Crisis May Hike Catering Costs 10-20%
•Delhi-NCR wedding planners warn catering costs could rise 10-20% due to ongoing commercial LPG supply disruptions and price hikes.
•Large wedding events, heavily reliant on LPG cylinders for bulk cooking and live stations, are already seeing discussions about simpler menus and price increases.
•Wedding planners like Mohsin Khan advise couples to secure caterers early and have backup plans, as vendors report stock lasting only 2-4 days.
•The government has revised natural gas allocation priority, placing LPG production alongside CNG and piped cooking gas at the top.
•Caterers note commercial LPG prices have reportedly soared from Rs 1,700-1,800 to around Rs 3,000, directly impacting per-plate costs.
