LPG Price Update, August 1, 2026: Businesses using commercial LPG cylinders have received some relief as prices of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders have been reduced in key cities from August 1. However, there is no change in the price of 14.2-kg domestic cooking gas cylinders, which continue to be sold at existing rates across the country.

Commercial LPG Becomes Cheaper in Major Cities

Commercial LPG cylinder prices have been reduced by up to ₹209 from August 1, 2026, providing relief to restaurants, hotels, catering businesses, and other commercial users.

According to information reported by news agency ANI, the price of the 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has been lowered by:

• ₹202 in Delhi
• ₹209 in Kolkata

Following the revision, the new commercial LPG prices are:

The revised prices came into effect from August 1, 2026.

Official Company Websites Yet to Reflect the Revision

Although the latest price reduction has been announced, the official websites of government-owned oil marketing companies had not reflected the revised commercial LPG rates at the time of reporting.

As per the available pricing on the Indian Oil website, commercial LPG cylinder prices in some cities were listed as:

• Mumbai: ₹2,885.50
• Chennai: ₹3,106

These figures may be updated once the revised rates are officially reflected across company portals.

Commercial LPG Is Primarily Used by Businesses

Unlike domestic cooking gas cylinders, 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders are mainly used by:

• Hotels
• Restaurants
• Cafés
• Catering services
• Food stalls
• Other commercial establishments

A reduction in commercial LPG prices can help businesses lower operating costs, particularly those with high daily fuel consumption.

This Is the Second Consecutive Price Cut

The latest reduction follows another cut announced on July 1, 2026, when commercial LPG cylinder prices were lowered by as much as ₹183.50.

Before the July revision, commercial LPG prices had witnessed a prolonged upward trend. Between January and June 2026, prices were increased seven times, including two separate hikes in March.

The earlier price increases were largely linked to supply concerns in the global LPG market following geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which affected international energy markets and increased import costs.

No Change in Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices

While commercial users have benefited from the latest revision, households will continue to pay the same price for 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinders.

There has been no change in domestic cooking gas prices on August 1, 2026.

The most recent revision in household LPG prices took place on June 7, 2026, when the price of domestic cylinders was increased by ₹29.

Current Domestic LPG Prices in Major Cities

According to the latest available data from Indian Oil, the prices of non-subsidised 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinders remain as follows:

Actual retail prices may differ slightly across states because of variations in local taxes, VAT, and transportation costs.

Why LPG Prices Vary

LPG prices in India are influenced by several domestic and international factors, including:

• Global crude oil and LPG prices
• Import costs
• Exchange rate movements
• Freight and transportation expenses
• Local taxes and state-level VAT
• Government pricing policies

Commercial cylinder prices are generally revised every month, while domestic LPG prices are changed based on government policy and market conditions.

What This Means for Consumers

The latest reduction will primarily benefit businesses that rely on commercial LPG for daily operations. Restaurants, hotels, and food service establishments may see some relief in operating expenses due to the lower fuel cost.

For households, however, there is no immediate benefit, as domestic LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged. Consumers using cooking gas at home will continue to pay the existing rates until any future revision is announced by the oil marketing companies.

With commercial LPG prices easing for the second consecutive month, market participants will now watch whether global energy prices remain stable enough to support further reductions in the coming months.
