Domestic LPG Cylinder Price Increased by ₹29; Second Cooking Gas Hike in 3 Months

Domestic cooking gas prices have been increased by ₹29 per cylinder, marking the second hike in the past 3 months. The revised rates came into effect on June 7, 2026.

Following the increase, the price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has risen to ₹942, up from ₹913 earlier.

Second LPG Price Increase Since March

This latest revision follows a ₹60-per-cylinder increase announced on March 7, 2026. The earlier hike came amid rising global energy prices triggered by geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which affected international fuel markets.

Despite the March increase, oil marketing companies reportedly continued to incur losses on the sale of subsidised domestic LPG cylinders.

Oil Companies Continue to Face Losses

State-owned oil marketing companies were losing around ₹703 on every domestic LPG cylinder sold even before the latest price hike.

The increase is aimed at reducing some of these losses, although industry sources indicate that the revised prices may still not fully offset the impact of elevated international fuel costs.

Fuel Prices Have Increased Across Categories

The LPG hike comes amid a broader rise in fuel prices across the country.

Over the past few weeks:

• Petrol prices have increased by a cumulative ₹7.50 per litre
• Diesel prices have also risen by ₹7.50 per litre
• Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) rates have gone up by around ₹6 per kg 

These revisions reflect the continued pressure of higher global crude oil and fuel prices.

Government Continues to Cushion Consumers

The government has so far avoided fully transferring the impact of rising international fuel prices to consumers. As a result, a portion of the cost burden is being borne by state-owned fuel retailers while global crude oil and fuel markets remain volatile.

This approach aims to protect consumers from sharp fuel price increases, although it also puts pressure on the finances of oil marketing companies.

Conclusion

The latest ₹29 increase in domestic LPG prices takes the cost of a 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi to ₹942, marking the second hike since March 2026. Rising international energy prices continue to impact fuel costs, while state-run oil companies face significant losses despite recent price revisions. Going forward, LPG and other fuel prices are likely to remain influenced by global crude oil trends and geopolitical developments.
