In a much-welcomed move, Indian households woke up to positive news this morning as Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) announced a significant reduction in the price of domestic LPG cylinders. Starting today, the price of a 14.2 kg non-subsidized LPG gas cylinder has been slashed by approximately ₹60 across major cities including Delhi, Patna, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Kolkata.

This price cut is part of the monthly revision that typically occurs on the first day of each month and comes as a relief to millions of households struggling with inflationary pressure on essential commodities.

LPG Price Drop Brings Relief to Consumers

From Delhi to Patna, the latest revision in LPG cylinder prices has resulted in a reduction of ₹60 on an average, bringing down the cost of cooking gas for both middle-class families and low-income households.

With nearly 10 crore households benefiting from subsidized LPG connections under government schemes, this price drop is expected to ease some of the financial burden on the common man.

Updated LPG Cylinder Prices as of 1 July 2025

Here’s a look at the revised LPG prices in major cities:

Note: Prices may slightly vary based on local taxes and transportation costs.

What’s Behind the LPG Price Reduction?

The cut in LPG gas prices has been attributed to a fall in international crude oil and LPG rates, which are closely linked to domestic pricing. In the last few weeks, the global market has seen a downward trend in fuel prices due to increased supply and slower-than-expected economic growth in key markets like China and the US.

As per industry sources, Indian OMCs have passed on the benefit of this global price correction to consumers in their monthly price revision.

Government Schemes Continue to Provide Additional Relief

Besides the current price drop, millions of Indian families continue to benefit from government subsidy schemes such as:

• Ujjwala Yojana: Under this flagship program, over 9 crore women from BPL households are provided subsidized LPG connections.

• 300 Rupees Subsidy per Cylinder: As per the Union Budget 2025, eligible Ujjwala beneficiaries receive a direct benefit transfer (DBT) of ₹300 per cylinder, further reducing their effective cost.

This means that for eligible users, the effective price of a domestic cylinder can now go as low as ₹543 in cities like Delhi — a substantial saving.

LPG Consumption and Demand Outlook

India is the second-largest LPG consumer in the world, and demand continues to rise year-on-year. Domestic consumption accounts for over 90% of LPG use in India, making price changes highly impactful for everyday life.

With monsoon season setting in, rural and semi-urban areas see higher cooking gas usage due to reduced availability of alternative fuels like wood or cow dung. Thus, this timely price cut is expected to have a positive impact on rural households as well.

How to Check the Latest LPG Prices in Your Area

Consumers can easily check the latest LPG rates for their region by visiting the official websites of the three major OMCs:

• Indane (Indian Oil)

• HP Gas (Hindustan Petroleum)

• Bharat Gas (Bharat Petroleum)

Alternatively, users can also check updated prices via mobile apps of these companies or through SMS alerts.

This LPG price cut is a welcome decision at a time when food prices, electricity bills, and transport costs are steadily climbing. While ₹60 may not seem like a big reduction at first glance, it makes a significant difference for households that rely on monthly LPG refills.

For now, Indian consumers can breathe a sigh of relief — both literally and financially.
