India's LPG Under-Recovery Narrows to Rs 188 per Cylinder in August
State-owned oil marketing companies in India reduced their under-recovery on domestic LPG to Rs 188 per 14.2-kg cylinder in August, down from Rs 500 in July and over Rs 700 in June, according to Minister of State Suresh Gopi. The retail selling price has been maintained at Rs 942 since June 2026. Despite government compensation payments totaling Rs 52,000 crore over recent fiscal years, outstanding dues to fuel retailers exceed Rs 59,000 crore as of July 31, reflecting ongoing subsidy support to shield households from price volatility.
