Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Rise by Around Rs 10 from September 1, Domestic Rates Stable
From September 1, 2026, commercial LPG cylinder prices increased by approximately Rs 9.50 to Rs 11.50 across major Indian cities, reversing two months of prior reductions. The 19-kg commercial cylinder now costs around Rs 2,747.50 in Delhi and Rs 2,916.50 in Chennai, affecting businesses like restaurants and hotels. Domestic LPG prices remained unchanged. The hike follows earlier steep increases linked to global supply concerns and may lead to higher operating costs and food prices in commercial sectors.
