The price of a 19 kg commercial cylinder has been decreased by Rs 30.50, with the new price set at Rs 1764.50 in Delhi starting from April 1. Similarly, the price of the 5 kg FTL cylinder has been lowered by RS.7.50 . This adjustment in prices contrasts with the previous announcement made on March 1, when oil marketing companies had increased the prices of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders.
Such fluctuations in pricing are typically influenced by shifts in fuel costs and market dynamics. While the precise reasons behind the price decrease remain undisclosed, various factors, such as changes in international oil prices, shifts in taxation policies, and supply-demand dynamics, likely contribute to such adjustments. The consecutive revisions emphasize the volatile nature on commercial LPG cylinders.
The price of LPG cylinders in India varies based on the city and type of cylinder. As of today, here are the prices for domestic (14.2 kg) and commercial (19 kg) LPG cylinders in some major Indian cities:
- New Delhi:
- Domestic (14.2 kg): Rs 803.00
- Commercial (19 kg): RS 1,795.00
- Kolkata:
- Domestic (14.2 Kg): RS829.00
- Commercial(19 kg): RS 1,911.00
- Mumbai:
- Domestic (14.2 kg) RS 802.50
- Commercial (19 kg): RS 1749.00
- Chennai:

Please note that LPG prices are revised monthly by state-run oil companies. The government provides subsidies on domestic LPG cylinders, and the subsidy amount varies based on international benchmark prices and exchange rates . Each household is entitled to up to 12 subsidized cylinders per year, with additional cylinders available at market prices.
Keep in mind that these prices are subject to change, so it’s essential to stay updated with the latest rates. If you have any specific requirements or need further information, feel free to ask!
