Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Increased Across Cities Ahead of Festive Season
From October 1, 2026, the price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders increased by Rs 60 to Rs 71.50 across Indian cities, with Delhi seeing a Rs 62.50 rise to Rs 2,810. This hike, coming ahead of the festive season, affects businesses like hotels and restaurants that rely on commercial LPG, potentially raising their operating costs. Domestic LPG cylinder prices, including the 14.2-kg variant used by households, remain unchanged, providing relief to residential consumers. The price adjustments reflect international benchmark movements and local taxes.
