Commercial lpg gas cylinder price

The government has implemented a record increase in commercial LPG prices amidst a global energy crisis. On May 1, 2026, the price of commercial LPG cylinders rose sharply across India. This change impacts businesses like hotels and restaurants that rely heavily on these gas supplies.

The average increase for the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders is ₹993. In Delhi, the price climbed from ₹2,078.50 to ₹3,071.50. Meanwhile, Mumbai saw an increase from ₹2,031 to ₹3,024.

The price of 5 kg market-priced LPG cylinders also rose significantly. It increased from ₹549 to ₹810.50. Despite these hikes, domestic LPG prices remain unchanged.

This surge in prices correlates with the ongoing global energy crisis and rising crude oil costs. Global crude oil prices have surged sharply due to supply disruptions linked to tensions in West Asia.

Additionally, the cost of bulk diesel has risen from ₹137 per litre to over ₹149 per litre. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas stated that retail pump prices of petrol, diesel, and domestic LPG have been kept unchanged.

Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi commented on the situation, urging people to compare price changes globally. He stated, “Please check other parts of the world on how much prices have risen there. We could withhold to this extent.”
