Starting September 1, the price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders has been reduced by ₹51.50, as announced by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), bringing relief to commercial establishments. This marks the second consecutive monthly price cut, aimed at easing operational costs for commercial establishments such as restaurants, hotels, and small businesses.
As per the revised rates, the price of a commercial LPG cylinder now stands at ₹1,580 in Delhi, ₹1,531.50 in Mumbai, ₹1,684 in Kolkata, and ₹1,738 in Chennai. The continuous reduction in rates is expected to bring relief to businesses that rely heavily on bulk LPG consumption.
In contrast, domestic LPG prices remain unchanged. The cost of a 14.2-kg domestic cylinder continues to be ₹853 in Delhi, ₹852.50 in Mumbai, ₹879 in Kolkata, and ₹868.50 in Chennai. The stable pricing offers no immediate relief or additional burden to household consumers.
LPG prices in India are revised at the beginning of each month, based on fluctuations in global benchmarks and currency exchange rates. While commercial LPG prices are linked more directly to international market trends, domestic rates are often moderated for consumer protection and political considerations.
In August 2025, commercial LPG prices were reduced by ₹99.75, and the latest revision further extends this downward trend. However, domestic prices have remained static for several months, indicating continued government focus on maintaining household affordability.
