June 1, 2025 –In a welcome move for commercial establishments, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have announced a reduction in the price of the 19-kg commercial LPG gas cylinder by ₹24. The new rates are effective from June 1, 2025, and come as part of the companies’ monthly pricing revision cycle.
As per the latest update:
Delhi: ₹1,723.50 (Down from ₹1,747.50)
Mumbai: ₹1,674.50
Kolkata: ₹1,826
Chennai: ₹1,881
These revised prices bring some relief to small eateries, restaurants, caterers, and other commercial units that rely heavily on LPG for their daily operations.
May 2025:
Delhi – ₹1,747.50 | Mumbai – ₹1,699 | Kolkata – ₹1,851.50 | Chennai – ₹1,906
April 2025:
Delhi – ₹1,762 | Mumbai – ₹1,713.50 | Kolkata – ₹1,868.50 | Chennai – ₹1,921.50
March 2025:
Delhi – ₹1,803 | Mumbai – ₹1,755.50 | Kolkata – ₹1,913 | Chennai – ₹1,965
February 1, 2025:
A marginal cut of ₹7 was made across cities.
December 2024:
LPG prices were hiked by ₹62 for the commercial cylinder.
LPG price revisions are based on international crude oil rates, foreign exchange fluctuations, shipping costs, and local taxes. These changes are announced on the 1st of every month and vary across states due to differing VAT rates and transportation costs.
This reduction is likely to ease the operational burden for thousands of commercial kitchens and service businesses across the country. However, frequent fluctuations in LPG prices—especially in the last few quarters—have posed challenges in budgeting and pricing for food and service vendors.
Domestic LPG prices, used by households, are generally revised separately and remain untouched by this current change.
