FTL cylinder price hike

The prices of 5kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinder have increased by ₹51, effective from today.

What caused LPG price hike

The ongoing West Asia conflict has caused volatility in the oil market due to supply disruption and shortage. The impact of this energy crisis can now be seen in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder prices. Last month, the government hiked the 14.2 kg domestic and 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder prices by ₹60 and ₹144.5, respectively.

The price revision on Wednesday is linked to the widening conflict between Iran and the US-Israel. Since the war began late in February, global oil prices have shot up almost 50% due to disruptions to energy supply chains.

On the first day of every month, state-owned Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum update ATF and LPG prices based on international benchmarks and the exchange rate.

After a ₹2 per litre reduction in March last year, petrol and diesel prices have remained frozen. While petrol currently costs ₹94.72 per litre in Delhi, diesel costs ₹87.62 per litre.

Centre drops update on Commercial LPG supply

The Centre, in a statement on the LPG supply situation on 31 March, said that the supply of Commercial LPG has been restored by 20% to consumers. Further, the Govt. of India, vide letter dated 18.03.2026, proposed to allocate an additional 10% of Commercial LPG to States/UTs based on ease-of-doing-business reforms for PNG expansion.

Dropping an update on Commercial LPG supply, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said, “Since 23rd March 2026, more than 3.2 Lakh 5 Kg FTL cylinders have been sold to migrant labours across the country. More than 63,000 – 5 Kg FTL Cylinders have been sold yesterday to migrant labours.”

It added, “Most of the States/UTs have issued orders to allocate the Non-domestic LPG in line with the guidelines issued by the Govt. of India. A total of 47928 MT has been uplifted since 14th March 2026 by commercial entities in the States/UTs.”

The government maintains that there have been no reported dry-outs at LPG distributorships, while acknowledging the impact of the geopolitical situation on the supply of LPG. It added that online LPG cylinder bookings increased to 92% on an industry basis on 30 March.

PSU Oil Marketing Companies, on average, delivered more than 50 Lakh domestic LPG cylinders per day since 1 March. Moreover, Delivery Authentication Code (DAC)-based deliveries have increased from 53% (Feb-2026) to 83% on 30 March, to prevent diversion at the distributor level, the Ministry said.
