Netizens Outraged Over LPG Price Hike: Check Funny Memes
As the price of LPG cylinders in Delhi rose by Rs 50 per unit, Opposition leaders have made their displeasure felt in no uncertain terms. And while some contented themselves with criticizing the government for its actions, others took the extra effort to find rather similar tweets by BJP leaders from their stint as an Opposition party.
According to reports, the new price of Rs 769 per 14.2 kilograms LPG cylinder has been applied in the national capital from 12 am today - the second price hike in recent days. With oil marketing companies have increased the price of non-subsidized LPG cylinders by Rs 25 in metro cities two weeks ago, the latest hike means that prices have risen by around Rs. 75 in February itself.
Rs 2,003
Depending on the model, the price hikes seem to vary between Rs 1,000 and a little over Rs 2,000. The only upside, if you could call it that, is that Bajaj reduced the price of the Pulsar 125 Neon by Rs 506. So, you now pay Rs 71,616 instead of the previous Rs 72,122.
The RS 200 retains its current price tag of Rs 1,52,179. However, we anticipate an impending hike on it as well.
Here’s how Honda’s sporty commuters fair in comparison.
Interestingly, the new price makes the NS200 Rs 152 more expensive than the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V dual-channel variant. While such a marginal difference may sound irrelevant, it makes the RTR 200 a compelling proposition. That’s because the latter is not only cheaper but offers more bang for your buck. You get ride modes, an adjustable front suspension along with adjustable brake and clutch levers none of which is present in the NS200. So if we were you, we’d take a long, hard look at the 2021 RTR 200 4V.
The first price hike, and the steepest one, belongs to the Apache RR 310 which saw its biggest update with the BS6 transition. The update brought with it power modes, a full-colour TFT display and most important of all, reduced vibes. Despite the surge in price, the BS6 RR 310 still manages to undercut the BS6 KTM RC 390 by almost Rs 12,700, which makes it one of the best value-for-money propositions in its segment.
One of the biggest surprises last year was the launch of the 2021 Apache RTR 200 which not only features ride modes but also an adjustable front suspension. All for a price of Rs 1.31 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), just Rs 1,000 more expensive than the previous-gen dual-channel ABS variant. It’s no surprise then that TVS decided to add Rs 2,020 to the price tag.
Rs 3,146
The Meteor 350 is the most important bike for Royal Enfield since the launch of the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650 a few years back. It has debuted a new frame and chassis, and you can read what we have to say about the Meteor 350 in our real-world test.
It’s powered by a brand-new air-cooled 349cc engine that produces 20.4PS and 27Nm. While the numbers are similar to its UCE counterpart, the addition of a counterbalancer has resulted in a refined engine. The Meteor 350 uses a new double downtube split-cradle frame which has helped in reducing the weight by 6kg compared to the Thunderbird 350. The Meteor 350 also gets turn-by-turn navigation called Tripper. Also Read - BS6 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Real World Test
This is Hondaâs first price hike for its commuter portfolio in 2021
Honda is known to price its products on the premium side, so it does pain a little when the brand announces a price hike. This isn’t the first and it definitely won’t be the last. Good news is, you won’t have to break your bank just yet. The most recent price revision witnesses an increment ranging from Rs 557 to Rs 1,159, depending on the model. As a result, popular models like the SP 125 and the Shine now cost Rs 76,074 and Rs 70,478 respectively. Oh, and the extra dough doesn’t fetch you any cosmetic or mechanical updates.
