Restaurants, hotels and small businesses will see a slight reduction in operating costs this month as state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) have lowered the price of commercial LPG cylinders by Rs 4.5-6.5 across major cities.
According to Indian Oil Corporation, the new rates for 19-kg Indane cylinders are effective from today. In Delhi, the price has been reduced by Rs 5 to Rs 1,590.50, while in Mumbai it now costs Rs 1,542, down Rs 5 from October. In Kolkata, prices have fallen by Rs 6.50 to Rs 1,694, and in Chennai by Rs 4.50 to Rs 1,750.
The latest reduction follows a hike of around Rs 15-16.5 per cylinder in October, offering minor relief after two consecutive months of price increases.
There has been no change in domestic LPG prices since April 2025. The 14.2-kg cylinder continues to retail at Rs 853 in Delhi, Rs 852.50 in Mumbai, Rs 879 in Kolkata and Rs 868.50 in Chennai. Officials from OMCs said domestic LPG prices have been kept steady to shield households from global crude fluctuations. The Union government had in August approved a Rs 30,000-crore subsidy to oil firms including Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum to maintain affordability for domestic consumers.
While commercial LPG prices have dropped marginally, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) has become costlier for the second month in a row. OMCs have raised ATF prices by Rs 777 per kilolitre (kl) after a sharp Rs 3,052.50/kl hike in October.
From today, ATF costs Rs 94,543.02/kl in Delhi, Rs 97,549.18/kl in Kolkata, Rs 88,447.87/kl in Mumbai and Rs 98,089.68/kl in Chennai. Industry officials said the increase reflects fluctuations in international crude oil markets, which continue to drive domestic fuel adjustments. The higher jet fuel prices could put additional pressure on airline operating costs.
The revised LPG and ATF rates, announced by Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, have come into force nationwide from November 1, 2025.
