State-run oil companies cut the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder by ₹183.50 effective July 1, 2026. The revision brings immediate relief to restaurants, hotels, and other bulk users. Domestic 14.2-kg cylinder rates remain unchanged across major cities, holding at ₹942 in Delhi and ₹941.50 in Mumbai.
The reduction follows several months of price increases for commercial cylinders. State-owned fuel retailers had raised rates cumulatively by over ₹200 per cylinder since January, according to industry data. Those earlier hikes tracked higher global LPG benchmarks and a weakening rupee, which lifted import costs. The July cut reverses part of that upward drift.
For a typical restaurant using 4-5 cylinders a month, the saving works out to roughly ₹700-900 monthly. That may provide a modest buffer against other input costs, though the net benefit depends on whether global LPG prices stay low. The monthly pricing formula uses Saudi Aramco's contract price as a reference, according to industry reports. That contract has eased in recent months, creating room for the reduction.
