KKN Gurugram Desk | Effective June 1, 2025, India’s oil marketing companies (OMCs) have reduced the price of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders by ₹24. This marks the third consecutive monthly reduction in commercial LPG prices, following cuts of ₹41 in April and ₹14.50 in May 2025. The new rates aim to provide financial relief to businesses, especially in the hospitality and food sectors.

🔹 New Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices in Major Cities

• Delhi: ₹1,723.50 (previously ₹1,747.50)

• Mumbai: ₹1,674.50 (down from ₹1,699)

• Kolkata: ₹1,826 (reduced from ₹1,851.50)

• Chennai: ₹1,881 (previously ₹1,906)

These reductions are part of the regular monthly price revisions conducted by OMCs, which consider factors like international crude oil prices and market dynamics.

🔹 Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices Remain Steady

While commercial LPG prices have seen a decrease, domestic LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged since the last revision in April 2025. The current prices for a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder in major cities are:

• Delhi: ₹853

• Mumbai: ₹852.50

• Kolkata: ₹879

• Chennai: ₹868.50

The stability in domestic LPG prices is attributed to government regulations and subsidy schemes aimed at shielding households from market fluctuations.

 LPG Prices in Bihar

In Bihar, the domestic LPG price for a 14.2 kg cylinder in Patna stands at ₹942.50, with no change from the previous month. The commercial LPG cylinder (19 kg) is priced at ₹1,972.00, reflecting a reduction of ₹25.50.

🔹 Factors Influencing LPG Price Revisions

LPG prices in India are influenced by several factors, including:

• Global Crude Oil Prices: Fluctuations in international crude oil prices directly impact LPG pricing.

• Exchange Rates: The value of the Indian rupee against the US dollar affects import costs.

• Supply and Demand Dynamics: Domestic consumption patterns and global supply chains play a role.

• Government Policies: Subsidies and tax structures can stabilize or alter prices.

The recent reductions in commercial LPG prices are seen as a response to global oil trends and are expected to benefit businesses reliant on LPG.

🔹 Impact on Businesses

The decrease in commercial LPG prices is anticipated to provide relief to sectors heavily dependent on LPG, such as:

• Hospitality Industry: Restaurants and hotels may experience reduced operational costs.

• Food Services: Catering services and street food vendors could benefit from lower fuel expenses.

• Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): Businesses using LPG for manufacturing or processing may see cost savings.

These reductions can contribute to improved profit margins and potentially lower prices for consumers.

While commercial LPG prices have seen consecutive reductions, domestic LPG prices remain stable. Consumers and businesses should stay informed about monthly revisions, as future changes will depend on global oil markets, currency exchange rates, and domestic policy decisions
