The prices of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders were revised once again on Jun 1, triggered by the ongoing US-Iran conflict. As of June 2026, prices have been hiked by ₹42 to ₹54, with Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai experiencing a significant rise.
Commercial LPG cylinder prices have been revised five times since March 2026, putting additional pressure on hotels, restaurants and other businesses that rely on the fuel. The repeated hikes have reportedly forced several eateries and hospitality establishments across the country to shut down.
With the latest revision, the cost of a commercial cylinder in the national capital has risen to ₹3,113.50 from ₹3,071.50.
Chennai also witnessed a sharp increase, with the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder climbing to ₹3,283, according to Goodreturns.
According to the latest OMC data, a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder continues to cost ₹913 in Delhi, ₹912.50 in Mumbai, ₹939 in Kolkata and ₹928.50 in Chennai.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices in India are usually revised at the start of every month, depending on changes in global crude oil prices, currency exchange rates, freight costs and government subsidy policies.
Domestic cooking gas prices remain politically sensitive because of their direct impact on household budgets. For now, consumers continue to get temporary relief as LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged despite growing uncertainty in global energy markets.
The government has asked state-run fuel retailers to expand LPG storage capacity to cover at least 30 days of demand, a senior oil ministry official said on Friday, as supply disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict highlight the need for larger reserves.
"We are working on the strategic reserves. Oil marketing companies have been asked to work out (a plan) to have LPG reserves for a minimum of 30 days with them, and they are working on it," Sujata Sharma, joint secretary in the petroleum ministry, told reporters.
The government said the country has sufficient stocks of petrol, diesel, LPG, crude oil, and natural gas, adding that refineries were operating at optimum levels and LPG production was at an all-time high of around 52,000 tonnes per day.
"No dry out reported at any LPG distributorship," Sharma said, while adding that “abnormal sale is being observed at many petrol pumps.
