In recent months, the cost of commercial LPG cylinders in India has seen a notable increase, affecting various businesses including restaurants and eateries.
While domestic LPG prices have remained unchanged since March, commercial rates have been adjusted twice, leading to increased operational costs for businesses relying on this essential resource.
In March, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was raised by ₹144. This was followed by another increase of nearly ₹200 on April 1, 2026.
These consecutive hikes have significantly impacted businesses that depend on commercial LPG for their daily operations.
The increased costs are likely to affect the pricing strategies of many eateries and restaurants, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers.
In contrast to the commercial LPG price adjustments, domestic LPG cylinder prices have remained stable since a ₹60 increase in March.
The 14.2 kg domestic cylinders have not seen any further revisions, providing some relief to households across the country.
This stability in domestic pricing ensures that families are not facing additional financial burdens amid rising commercial rates.
As of April 15, 2023, the city-wise LPG rates for both domestic and commercial cylinders are as follows:
| City | Domestic (₹) | Commercial (₹) |
| New Delhi | 913 | 2,078.50 |
| Kolkata | 939 | 2,208.50 |
| Mumbai | 912 | 2,031.00 |
| Chennai | 928 | 2,246.50 |
| Bengaluru | 915 | 2,161.00 |
| Hyderabad | 965 | 2,320.50 |
| Jaipur | 916 | 2,106.00 |
| Patna | 1,002.50 | 2,353.50 |
