Commercial LPG cylinder users will have to pay more from June 1 after oil marketing companies revised prices upward across key cities, according to sources quoted by ANI.
The price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has been increased by ₹42 in Delhi, taking the retail selling price to ₹3,113.50 per cylinder. In Kolkata, the price has been raised by ₹53.50, with the revised rate standing at ₹3,255.50 per cylinder.
In addition to commercial cylinders, prices of 5 kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinders have also been increased. The price of a 5 kg FTL cylinder has been raised by ₹11 and will now cost ₹821.50 in Delhi.
The revised prices will come into effect from June 1, impacting commercial establishments such as hotels, restaurants, eateries and other businesses that primarily use commercial LPG cylinders.
However, there is relief for household consumers as there has been no change in the price of domestic LPG cylinders. The rates of domestic cooking gas cylinders remain unchanged despite the latest revision in commercial LPG prices.
The monthly revision in LPG prices is undertaken by oil marketing companies based on factors such as international energy prices, exchange rate movements and overall market conditions.
The latest hike comes amid continued volatility in global energy markets following the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran, along with disruptions around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and LPG shipments. India imports nearly 60% of its LPG requirements, with a significant portion sourced from the Middle East, making domestic prices highly sensitive to geopolitical developments in the region.
Commercial LPG prices have witnessed a sharp surge over the past few months. In Delhi, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has climbed from around ₹1,691.50 in January 2026 to ₹3,113.50 from June 1, 2026 — an increase of over ₹1,400 per cylinder, or nearly 84%. The sharpest jump came in May, when prices were raised by about ₹993 per cylinder following supply disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict and the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
Several reports have linked the steep rise in commercial LPG rates to tightening global supplies, higher Middle East contract prices and concerns over shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil marketing companies have largely shielded domestic 14.2-kg LPG consumers from these increases so far, but commercial users such as restaurants, hotels, caterers and small businesses have borne the brunt of the price escalation.
Consumers and businesses will now watch future revisions closely amid fluctuations in global energy markets and crude oil prices.
While the impact of a single monthly price revision is limited, investors may keep an eye on restaurant, hospitality and oil marketing stocks as commercial LPG cylinder prices have been increased from June 1 (Today).
