LPG Price Hike in India: Domestic Cylinders Costlier by ₹60, Commercial by ₹115 from March 7

The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in India has increased once again, impacting millions of households and businesses across the country. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) announced a hike of ₹60 for domestic LPG cylinders and ₹115 for commercial cylinders, effective March 7.

This marks the second LPG price increase within the last 11 months, adding to the financial pressure on consumers who rely on LPG for cooking and commercial operations.

New LPG Cylinder Prices in Major Cities

Following the latest revision, the price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased to ₹913, compared to ₹853 earlier.

Updated LPG prices in key metro cities include:

• Delhi: ₹913 (earlier ₹853)
• Mumbai: ₹912.50 (earlier ₹852.50)
• Kolkata: ₹930 (earlier ₹879)
• Chennai: ₹928.50 (earlier ₹868.50)

The price increase affects millions of households, restaurants, and small businesses that depend on LPG cylinders for daily operations.

Why LPG Prices Were Increased

The price hike comes amid concerns about LPG supply disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions in West Asia, particularly due to the ongoing Israel–Iran conflict.

In response, the Indian government recently instructed oil marketing companies to increase LPG production in order to prevent shortages in the domestic market.

India currently has 33.08 crore active LPG consumers, making it one of the largest LPG markets in the world. Any disruption in global supply chains can significantly affect domestic availability and pricing.

What Consumers Should Watch Next

Energy markets remain sensitive to global geopolitical developments and supply disruptions. With tensions in West Asia affecting energy supplies, future price adjustments cannot be ruled out.

Consumers should keep an eye on:

• Monthly LPG price revisions
• Government subsidy announcements
• Global crude oil and LPG supply trends

Staying informed about these developments can help households and businesses better plan their expenses.

As energy markets evolve, pricing decisions will continue to influence millions of Indian consumers who depend on LPG as an essential household and commercial fuel.

Summary

India has increased LPG cylinder prices from March 7, with domestic cylinders rising by ₹60 and commercial cylinders by ₹115. The price hike comes amid concerns about supply disruptions linked to geopolitical tensions in West Asia. While petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged, over 10 crore households under the Ujjwala scheme will continue receiving a ₹300 subsidy, helping reduce the financial burden on eligible families.
