Commercial LPG consumers have received a major relief at the beginning of July as oil marketing companies have reduced the prices of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders. The revised rates have come into effect from July 1, 2026, bringing down operational costs for restaurants, hotels, roadside eateries and other businesses that rely on commercial gas cylinders.

In Delhi, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has been reduced from ₹3,113 to ₹2,930. The cylinder price has dropped by ₹183.50. Along with this, the price of the 5 kg FTL (Free Trade LPG) cylinder has also been reduced by ₹13.

However, there has been no change in the price of domestic LPG cylinders used for household cooking. The 14.2 kg household cylinder prices remain unchanged across major cities. In Delhi, the domestic LPG cylinder costs ₹942, while in Kolkata it is priced at ₹968. In Mumbai, the price stands at ₹941.50, and in Chennai it is ₹957.50.

The reduction in commercial LPG prices comes after several months of continuous price hikes due to supply concerns linked to global issues, including tensions in West Asia and the Iran conflict. Commercial LPG rates had been increasing steadily amid concerns over fuel availability and international market fluctuations.

Earlier this year, the commercial LPG cylinder price was around ₹1,691 in January. Over the past few months, it witnessed a sharp increase of nearly ₹993, crossing the ₹3,000 mark. At the beginning of June, prices were increased further by ₹42.

This is the first time in 2026 that oil marketing companies have reduced commercial LPG cylinder prices. The latest price cut is expected to provide significant relief to businesses, especially the hospitality sector, by lowering fuel expenses.

Market analysts believe that while the reduction will ease pressure on commercial users, consumers will continue to monitor global crude oil trends and geopolitical developments, which may influence future LPG pricing.
