Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Rise by Around Rs 9.50 from September 1, Domestic Rates Stable
From September 1, 2026, the price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders increased by approximately Rs 9.50 to Rs 10.50 across major Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. This follows two months of price declines after earlier hikes. The price of domestic LPG cylinders remained unchanged. The increase affects businesses like restaurants and hotels, potentially raising their operating costs and food prices. Smaller non-domestic cylinders also saw minor price rises. Variations in rates reflect local taxes and charges.
