LPG Price Today: Oil marketing companies have released the latest LPG cylinder prices for August 6, 2026. While there is no change in the price of the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder, commercial consumers have received significant relief. The price of the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has been reduced by ₹192, offering lower operating costs for hotels, restaurants, caterers, and other businesses. Here's a detailed look at the latest LPG rates and recent price trends.

Domestic LPG Prices Stay Unchanged

Consumers waiting for a reduction in household cooking gas prices will have to wait a little longer. Oil marketing companies have not revised the price of the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder this month.

In New Delhi, the domestic LPG cylinder continues to be available at:

• 14.2 kg Domestic LPG Cylinder: ₹942

This price has remained unchanged since June 2026, providing stability for household consumers, although many continue to expect a price cut.

Commercial LPG Cylinder Becomes Cheaper

The biggest change in the latest price revision comes for commercial LPG users.

Businesses using 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders have received a substantial reduction in prices.

The reduction is expected to benefit restaurants, hotels, food outlets, caterers, and other commercial establishments that rely heavily on LPG for daily operations.

Relief for Restaurants and Hospitality Businesses

The decline in commercial LPG prices could help businesses reduce operating expenses.

Industries expected to benefit include:

• Hotels
• Restaurants
• Cafes
• Catering services
• Roadside eateries
• Commercial kitchens

Lower fuel costs may improve profit margins, although the impact on consumer food prices will depend on individual businesses and market conditions.

Domestic LPG Price Trend Over the Past Year

Although household cylinder prices remained unchanged this month, they have increased over the past year.

Key highlights include:

• Domestic LPG prices have increased by approximately ₹89 since September 2025.
• The largest monthly increase occurred in March 2026, when prices were raised by ₹60 in a single revision.
• Since June 2026, domestic cylinder prices have remained stable at ₹942 in Delhi.

The absence of a fresh price hike offers short-term stability, but consumers are still waiting for a reduction in household cooking gas prices.

Commercial LPG Price Trend

Commercial LPG prices have experienced greater volatility than domestic cylinders over the past year.

According to recent market data:

• The largest increase occurred in May 2026, when commercial LPG prices rose by approximately ₹993.
• The latest ₹192 reduction in August 2026 is the biggest monthly relief for commercial users during the past 12 months.

The latest revision partially offsets earlier price increases and provides some relief to businesses facing rising operating costs.

Prices may vary slightly across cities due to transportation costs, local taxes, and other regional factors.

Why Do LPG Prices Change?

LPG cylinder prices are reviewed periodically by oil marketing companies based on several factors, including:

• International LPG benchmark prices
• Crude oil market trends
• Import costs
• Currency exchange rates
• Transportation and distribution expenses
• Government policies and taxation

Domestic and commercial LPG cylinders are often revised independently, meaning one category may see a price change while the other remains unchanged.

What Does This Mean for Consumers?

For households, the latest update means there is no immediate relief in cooking gas expenses, as domestic LPG prices remain unchanged.

For commercial users, however, the ₹192 reduction is expected to lower fuel costs and provide some financial relief to businesses that consume large quantities of LPG every month.

Whether these savings are passed on to customers through lower food prices will depend on individual businesses and other operating costs.

Final Thoughts

The latest LPG price revision for August 6, 2026 brings a mixed outcome for consumers. Household users will continue purchasing the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder at ₹942, with no change from previous months. Meanwhile, commercial establishments have received welcome relief, with the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder now priced at ₹2,738 after a ₹192 reduction.

While domestic consumers continue to wait for a price cut, the lower commercial LPG rates are expected to ease costs for restaurants, hotels, and other businesses that rely on LPG as a primary fuel source.
