Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices Rise Across India From March 7

The price of domestic LPG cylinders has been increased across India from Saturday, March 7, with the cost of a 14.2-kg household cooking gas cylinder going up by Rs 60. The revision applies nationwide and takes effect immediately.

According to available details, the increase affects both household consumers and commercial users who rely on LPG for daily operations.

Revised Domestic LPG Rates In Major Cities

Following the latest revision, the price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased from Rs 853 to Rs 913.

In Mumbai, the new rate now stands at Rs 912.50, compared with the earlier price of Rs 852.50. Kolkata has also seen a rise, with the price moving from Rs 879 to Rs 930.

In Chennai, the cost of a domestic LPG cylinder has increased from Rs 868.50 to Rs 928.50.

Officials indicated that the new rates have come into effect immediately from Saturday.

Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Also Increased

The revision also applies to commercial LPG cylinders used by businesses such as hotels, restaurants and small establishments.

In Delhi, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has increased from Rs 1768.50 to Rs 1883.

Mumbai has recorded a rise from Rs 1720.50 to Rs 1835, while Kolkata prices have increased from Rs 1875.50 to Rs 1990.

In Chennai, the cost of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has gone up from Rs 1929 to Rs 2043.50.

The hike is expected to impact businesses that depend heavily on LPG for daily operations.

First Domestic LPG Price Revision Since April 2025

The domestic LPG cylinder price had remained unchanged since April 2025, when the non-subsidised rate in Delhi stood at Rs 853.

The latest increase marks a notable change for household consumers after nearly a year without revision.

Government Says Energy Supply Remains Stable

The price adjustment comes amid wider discussions regarding energy supply and fuel availability.

Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri had earlier said that there is no shortage of energy in the country and that consumers should not worry about supply disruptions.

“Our priority is to ensure the availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for our citizens, and we are doing it comfortably. There is no shortage of energy in India, and there is no cause of worry for our energy consumers,” the minister said in a post on X.

Indian Oil Corporation also rejected social media claims about a shortage of petrol and diesel in the country.

The company stated that India has sufficient fuel stocks and that supply and distribution networks are operating normally.

Government Monitoring Global Supply Situation

Government sources said India remains in a “very comfortable position” regarding crude oil, petroleum products, and LPG supplies despite concerns related to the Strait of Hormuz.

Officials said the country has access to diversified energy supplies beyond the volumes that could potentially be affected through the Strait.

India has also diversified its crude oil imports over the past few years. Since 2022, imports from Russia have increased significantly.

According to government sources, India imported about 20 per cent of its total crude oil imports from Russia in February, amounting to around 1.04 million barrels per day.

On the LPG front, the government has directed refineries to increase production to maintain adequate supply.

LPG imports from the United States have also started reaching India since January. Public sector oil companies signed a one-year contract in November 2025 to import around 2.2 MTPA of LPG from the US Gulf Coast for the contract year 2026.
