New LPG Prices Take Effect from 7 March
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder prices in India have been increased, with the cost of a 14.2 kg domestic cylinder rising by ₹60 and the price of a 19 kg commercial cylinder increasing by ₹115. The revised prices came into effect on 7 March.
Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices Increased
The price of the 14.2 kg LPG cylinder used for household cooking has been raised by ₹60 across the country. In Delhi, the price has increased from ₹853 to ₹913. In Mumbai, the price has risen from ₹852.50 to ₹912.50.
In Kolkata, the domestic LPG cylinder price has increased from ₹879 to ₹930. In Chennai, the price has risen from ₹868.50 to ₹928.50.
Following the increase, domestic LPG cylinder prices in several parts of the country have again approached the ₹900 range.
First Increase Since April 2025
This increase in domestic LPG cylinder prices has been implemented for the first time since April 2025. Prices had remained stable for nearly a year.
During this period, the government and oil companies had attempted to maintain price balance. However, rising pressure in international markets and fluctuations in crude oil prices have led gas companies to increase LPG prices.
Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Also Raised
Prices of the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders used by hotels, roadside eateries, restaurants and catering businesses have also been increased.
After the latest revision, the price in Delhi has risen from ₹1768.50 to ₹1883. In Mumbai, the price has increased from ₹1720.50 to ₹1835.
In Kolkata, the price of the 19 kg cylinder has increased from ₹1875.50 to ₹1990. In Chennai, the price has risen from ₹1929 to ₹2043.50.
Commercial Cylinder Prices Increased Twice in One Week
Commercial LPG cylinder prices have increased rapidly in recent days. On 1 March, gas companies had already raised prices by ₹28 to ₹31.
With the latest revision, commercial LPG cylinder prices have increased by approximately ₹143 to ₹146 within a week.
Impact on Food Businesses
Commercial LPG cylinders are widely used in hotels, roadside eateries, restaurants and catering businesses where large volumes of gas are consumed daily.
The increase in gas prices raises cooking costs for these businesses. As a result, some businesses may raise menu prices, while others may face reduced profit margins.
