LPG prices have changed from October 1, 2026, but households have been spared from the latest increase. Oil marketing companies have raised the price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders across several cities, while the price of the commonly used 14.2-kg domestic cooking gas cylinder remains unchanged.

The increase in commercial LPG prices ranges from around ₹60 to ₹71.50 per cylinder, depending on the city, according to the supplied rates.

Delhi has seen a ₹62.50 increase, taking the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder from ₹2,747.50 in September to ₹2,810 from October 1.

Patna recorded the largest increase among the cities cited, while Leh has the highest commercial cylinder price in the supplied data.

Commercial LPG Becomes ₹62.50 Costlier in Delhi

Businesses using commercial cooking gas will have to pay more from the beginning of October.

In Delhi, a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder now costs ₹2,810.

The same cylinder was available for ₹2,747.50 in September. This means businesses will pay an additional:

₹2,810 - ₹2,747.50 = ₹62.50 per cylinder

Commercial LPG cylinders are widely used by restaurants, hotels, dhabas, caterers and other food-related establishments. Consequently, an increase in commercial LPG prices can raise operating costs for such businesses.

Patna Sees the Biggest Increase Among Cited Cities

Patna recorded the steepest increase among the locations mentioned in the supplied price data.

The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Patna has increased by ₹71.50, taking the new rate to ₹3,100.50.

Chennai has seen an increase of ₹66.50, with the new commercial cylinder price reaching ₹2,983.

Mumbai's commercial LPG rate has increased by approximately ₹63 to ₹2,764, while Lucknow has witnessed a ₹62.50 increase, taking the price to ₹2,932.50.

In Leh, a commercial LPG cylinder now costs ₹3,450 after a ₹64.50 increase.

Commercial LPG Prices From October 1

Here are the revised 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder rates cited for selected cities:

The source did not provide the exact increase for Kanyakumari and Tawang, so only their revised prices have been included.

Among the cities listed above, Patna recorded the biggest stated increase at ₹71.50, while Leh has the highest new commercial LPG price at ₹3,450 per cylinder.

Has Domestic LPG Become More Expensive?

No. The 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder price has not been increased under the October 1 revision cited in the source.

This is an important distinction because commercial and domestic LPG cylinders have separate pricing structures.

The latest increase applies to the 19-kg commercial cylinder, not the standard domestic cylinder used by households for cooking.

Therefore, households do not have to pay an additional ₹60-₹71.50 for their 14.2-kg cylinder because of this particular October 1 revision.

Domestic LPG Prices Remain Unchanged

According to the supplied rates, the 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder continues to cost ₹942 in Delhi.

In Mumbai, the domestic cylinder price remains ₹941.50, while Chennai consumers pay ₹957.50.

Here are the cited domestic LPG rates:

These prices show that domestic LPG rates can differ considerably across locations even when there is no fresh nationwide price revision.

Why the Commercial LPG Hike Still Matters to Consumers

Although household LPG prices have not increased, the commercial-cylinder hike can still have an indirect impact on consumers.

Restaurants, hotels, cafes, sweet shops, caterers and other businesses that use 19-kg LPG cylinders will now face higher fuel expenses.

For example, a business in Delhi using 10 commercial cylinders a month would face an additional LPG expense of:

₹62.50 × 10 = ₹625 per month

A larger restaurant or commercial kitchen consuming 50 cylinders would face an additional cost of:

₹62.50 × 50 = ₹3,125 per month

Whether businesses pass those additional costs on to customers will depend on their overall expenses, pricing strategies and competition.

Why Are LPG Prices Different Across Cities?

LPG prices are not identical throughout India.

Regional variations can arise from transportation expenses, local factors and the applicable pricing structure. This is why the same 19-kg commercial cylinder can cost ₹2,810 in Delhi but ₹3,450 in Leh.

Domestic cylinder prices also vary. The supplied October rates range from ₹941.50 in Mumbai to ₹1,179 in Leh among the selected cities.

Consumers should therefore check the current LPG rate applicable specifically to their city rather than relying on the price quoted for another location.

How Are LPG Prices Determined?

LPG prices in India are influenced by movements in international energy markets as well as foreign-exchange rates.

Oil marketing companies take into account international LPG benchmarks and currency movements while reviewing domestic prices.

Because India depends on global energy markets, a rise in international LPG costs or an adverse movement in the rupee can increase pressure on domestic prices.

Similarly, falling international prices or favourable currency movements can create room for reductions, although the final retail price also depends on the broader pricing framework.

Commercial and Domestic LPG Prices Should Not Be Confused

The October 1 revision makes it particularly important to distinguish between commercial and household LPG cylinders.

A headline stating simply that "LPG cylinders have become costlier" can give household consumers the impression that their cooking-gas bill has increased.

In this case, the increase specifically affects 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders.

The 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder remains unchanged under the latest revision.

For Delhi consumers, that means a commercial cylinder now costs ₹2,810 after a ₹62.50 hike, while a domestic cylinder continues to cost ₹942.

What Consumers Should Know From October 1

The biggest LPG-related change at the start of October is therefore aimed at the commercial segment.

Businesses will face higher cylinder costs, with the cited increases ranging up to ₹71.50. Patna has seen the largest stated increase, while Leh has the highest commercial rate among the cities listed.

Households, meanwhile, have avoided a fresh increase in their 14.2-kg cooking gas cylinder prices.

Consumers should check the latest city-specific rate while booking a refill because LPG prices can vary by location and may be revised periodically.

Disclaimer: The LPG rates mentioned above are based on the supplied price data for October 1, 2026. Prices can vary by location and may be revised by oil marketing companies. Consumers should verify the applicable rate at the time of booking.
