Domestic LPG cylinder prices have been increased by Rs 60, while commercial cylinders are costlier by Rs 115 across India. In Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai, household budgets will feel the impact as new rates take effect immediately. The hike is linked to rising global energy costs amid Middle East tensions.
Rising Household Costs
The price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder has gone up to Rs 913 in Delhi, Rs 912.50 in Mumbai, and Rs 928.50 in Chennai. This marks the first major revision since April 2025, directly affecting household cooking expenses.
Commercial Cylinder Impact
For businesses, the cost of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has risen by Rs 115. Restaurants, hotels, and small enterprises relying on LPG are expected to face higher operating costs, which may translate into increased consumer prices.
Global Energy Market Influence
Industry officials attribute the hike to surging international crude and gas prices following the ongoing conflict in West Asia. The stronger US dollar and supply chain disruptions have further pressured domestic fuel prices. The government, however, assured that energy supplies remain stable with diversified imports.
