NEW DELHI: The price of domestic cooking gas cylinders has been increased across the country with effect from Saturday, with the cost of a 14.2-kg household LPG cylinder rising by Rs 60, according to sources.
The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has also been increased by Rs 115, a move expected to impact businesses such as hotels, restaurants and other small commercial establishments.
According to the revised rates, the price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased from Rs 853 to Rs 913. In Mumbai, the price has risen from Rs 852.50 to Rs 912.50. In Kolkata, the price has gone up from Rs 879 to Rs 939, while in Chennai it has increased from Rs 868.50 to Rs 928.50. The new prices have come into effect immediately from Saturday.
Commercial LPG cylinders used by businesses have also become costlier. In Delhi, the price of a 19-kg cylinder has increased from Rs 1,768.50 to Rs 1,883.

Meanwhile, Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, recently assured that there is no shortage of energy supplies in India. In a post on X, he said the government’s priority is to ensure the availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for citizens.
The minister added that consumers need not worry about supply disruptions as the country has adequate energy resources.
At the same time, Indian Oil Corporation dismissed reports circulating on social media about a possible shortage of petrol and diesel, terming them baseless. The company said India has sufficient fuel stocks and that supply and distribution networks are functioning normally.
Government sources earlier stated that India remains in a “very comfortable position” regarding crude oil, petroleum products and LPG supplies despite concerns over potential disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.
Officials noted that India has diversified its crude oil import sources over the past few years. Since 2022, imports from Russia have increased significantly, accounting for around 20 per cent of India’s total crude oil imports in February, or about 1.04 million barrels per day.
Sources also said the government has directed LPG refineries to increase production to ensure adequate supply across the country. Additionally, India has started importing LPG from the United States since January under a one-year contract signed by public sector oil companies in November 2025 to import around 2.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) from the US Gulf Coast for the contract year 2026.
