Government Rose Commercial LPG Cylinders by ₹195: Check Rates in Your City

Prices of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders have been increased from April 1 by ₹195, adding further strain on businesses already grappling with rising input costs. The hike comes against the backdrop of the ongoing West Asia conflict and heightened volatility in global energy markets.

OMC’s Increased LPG Prices

State-run oil marketing companies, Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum have raised prices by up to ₹218 per cylinder. The revised rates take effect immediately, while domestic LPG prices remain unchanged.

In Delhi, the price has risen by ₹195.50, pushing the cost of a 19-kg cylinder to ₹2,078.50. Kolkata has seen the steepest hike of ₹218, while in Bengaluru, a cylinder now costs ₹2,161.

This marks the second price increase since tensions escalated on February 28. Previously, rates were raised by ₹114.50 per cylinder on March 1. The ongoing West Asia conflict has triggered a sharp surge in global crude oil prices, up nearly 50%, disrupting supply chains and pushing up energy costs worldwide.

Supply Boost Fails to Ease Pressure

The price hike comes despite efforts to improve supply. The Delhi government recently increased the allocation of commercial LPG cylinders to 50% of average daily consumption. Daily supply was ramped up from 1,800 to 4,500 cylinders, following directions from the Centre.

Under the revised distribution policy, hotels, restaurants, and food service units receive the largest share at 75%. Essential services such as hospitals and transport hubs are allocated 5%, while the remaining supply is distributed among government institutions, caterers, sports facilities, and industrial users.

LPG prices are revised on the first day of every month by oil marketing companies, based on international benchmarks and currency movements.
