Good News for Consumers: Commercial and Domestic LPG Cylinders Get Cheaper – Check Updated Rates

In a move that brings some relief to businesses ahead of the Union Budget, oil marketing companies have announced a reduction in the price of commercial LPG gas cylinders. Starting February, the cost of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has been reduced by Rs 7. This comes as a small but welcome break for hotels, restaurants, and other businesses that rely heavily on commercial LPG.

As of January, the retail price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi stood at Rs 1,804. In other major cities, the prices varied: Kolkata at Rs 1,911, Mumbai at Rs 1,756, and Chennai at Rs 1,966, according to data from Indian Oil.

However, it’s not all good news. Aviation turbine fuel (ATF), commonly used in aircraft, saw a sharp increase of 5.6% on Saturday. In Delhi, the price of ATF rose by Rs 5,078.25 per kilolitre, reaching Rs 95,533.72. This hike follows a series of fluctuations in ATF prices over the past few months. For instance, prices were reduced by 1.5% on January 1 but had previously seen increases in November and December 2024. In Mumbai, the ATF price climbed to Rs 89,318.90 per kilolitre, up from Rs 84,511.93.

On the brighter side, the reduction in commercial LPG prices marks the second consecutive cut after five months of steady increases. In Delhi, the price of a 19 kg cylinder has been lowered to Rs 1,797. Earlier, on January 1, the price was reduced by Rs 14.5, offering some respite to businesses grappling with rising operational costs.

Meanwhile, domestic LPG prices remain unchanged, with a 14.2 kg cylinder still costing Rs 803. This stability is a relief for households, especially amid rising living costs.

Public sector oil companies, including Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), regularly adjust fuel prices on the first of every month. These revisions are based on international fuel prices and currency exchange rates.


Petrol and diesel prices, however, have remained steady for now. The last reduction was in mid-March, just before the general elections, when prices were cut by Rs 2 per litre. In Delhi, petrol currently costs Rs 94.72 per litre, while diesel is priced at Rs 87.62 per litre.

While the aviation sector faces higher costs, the reduction in commercial LPG prices offers a glimmer of relief for small and medium-sized businesses. As the Union Budget approaches, many are hopeful for further measures to ease the financial burden on both industries and households.
