Domestic LPG Price Hiked by ₹60, Commercial Cylinder up ₹115 From Today — Check New Rates Here

The price hike follows rising global energy costs due to the West Asia conflict, affecting households and businesses nationwide, with over 10 crore Ujjwala connections exempt from the increase.

  • On March 7, 2026, household LPG prices rose as a standard 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder increased by Rs 60 nationwide, with the revision effective immediately.
  • Amid the West Asia conflict, oil companies said higher global energy prices prompted the hike, and the Centre directed refiners to maximise LPG production.
  • Commercial 19 kg cylinders rose by about Rs 115, with non-subsidised 14.2 kg cylinders now costing Rs 913 in Delhi, Rs 912.50 in Mumbai, Rs 930 in Kolkata, and Rs 928.50 in Chennai.
  • Households face immediate cost pressure from the hike, but Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri and Indian Oil Corporation urged calm, saying India has sufficient stocks and no shortage.
  • This is the first domestic LPG revision since April 2025, with officials stating India has diversified supplies and reserves to increase imports if needed.
