Commercial LPG cylinders' price slashed by ₹41, domestic rates unchanged

Oil marketing companies have announced a ₹41 cut in the prices of 19-kg commercial Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders, effective 1 April. The move will bring relief to industries and businesses that rely heavily on cooking fuel.

 

According to an ANI report, the prices of domestic LPG cylinders used for household cooking remain unchanged in this revision.

 

The retail sale price of the commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi is now ₹1,762. In Mumbai, the price is ₹1,714.50, while in Kolkata it stands at ₹1,872 and in Chennai, it is ₹1,924.50.

 

The previous revisions came on 1 March, when commercial LPG prices were hiked by ₹6 after a reduction of ₹7 in February. Oil companies revise the prices of commercial LPG cylinders regularly, based on several factors, including international crude oil prices.

 

 

Prior to this, prices were increased by ₹62 in December 2024.

 

The latest fuel price revision reflects fluctuations in the global energy market, driven by recent volatility in international oil prices.

 

Relief for restaurants and hotels

 

The price adjustment will directly benefit restaurants, hotels, and other commercial establishments that use these LPG cylinders for daily operations. It will also offer relief to small businesses heavily reliant on commercial LPG for their functioning.

 

LPG prices vary from state to state, depending on local taxes and transportation costs. While the ₹41 reduction may seem modest, it will provide cost relief to commercial users across the country.
