Recent Increase in LPG Gas Prices in India
Oil marketing companies have increased the prices of non-subsidised domestic LPG gas cylinders by 60 rupees across metropolitan cities in India. The new price for a 14.2 kilogram gas cylinder in Delhi has risen from 853 rupees to 913 rupees.
In Mumbai, the new rates for LPG cylinders will be 912.50 rupees, while in Kolkata, the price has been set at 939 rupees. Chennai residents will now pay 928.50 rupees for the same cylinder. Additionally, the rates for commercial LPG gas cylinders have been increased by 115 rupees.
The revised prices of LPG gas cylinders have come into effect from today, reflecting ongoing fluctuations in energy costs. The price hike is attributed to increased energy prices due to the conflict in West Asia.
This is not the first time consumers have faced such increases; the price of domestic cooking gas was hiked by ₹60 per cylinder on March 7, 2026, indicating a trend of rising costs in the sector.
Observers are closely monitoring the situation, as these price adjustments could have significant implications for household budgets and commercial operations alike. The impact of these changes on consumer behavior and market dynamics remains to be seen.
