LPG Rate June 2026: Commercial cooking gas price crosses Rs 3,100/cylinder mark in Delhi! Domestic-use LPG refill rate unchanged

LPG Rates in June 2026: Commercial LPG retail prices in the country were revised upwards in the national capital with effect from Monday, June 1, with state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) undertaking a price revision. However, there was some respite for households as the three PSU OMCs -- Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) -- kept the domestic-use cooking gas refill prices steady at existing levels.

With the latest revision, commercial-use LPG -- sold in 19-kilogram refills -- will now be available at Rs 3,113.50 per 19 kg now, instead of the earlier Rs 3,071.5 per cylinder.

In Kolkata, the price has been increased by Rs 53.50 to Rs 3,255.5 per cylinder. Until now, LPG refills in the state were sold at Rs 3,202 per cylinder. .

LPG Price Hike | What it means for businesses

The price revision is set to impact a range of businesses, like restaurants, hotels, cloud kitchens and factories -- categories considered non-essential by authorities.

They are likely to increase their menu rates to protect their margins against rising input costs, say sources.

Fuel costs are a key input in daily operations for such businesses that rely heavily on LPG as fuel, and a sudden spike in rates disrupts their pricing strategies and eats into their profitability.

Traditionally, increases in commercial LPG prices have led to gradual price hikes in food items, particularly in urban areas.

From thalis to takeaway meals, even a small increase in cost per dish can accumulate over time, businesses may not increase the rates immediately, say sources.

Why was LPG price hiked in Delhi and Kolkata?

Sources say the latest revision is because of changes in local taxes.

Why was LPG price hiked in Delhi and Kolkata?

Sources say the latest revision is because of changes in local taxes. The three OMCs review the retail prices regularly, implementing any changes typically in the beginning of a new month. The retail rates are alinged primarily with international LPG benchmarks, import costs, rupee-dollar exchange-rate movements and freight costs.

LPG retail prices across the country include both central and state GST components, though LPG is not subject to the kind of state VAT structure that applies to petrol and diesel. These price differences in states and UTs are also driven by logistics and distribution costs.

LPG prices still vary from state to state owing to:

• Transportation and freight costs
• Bottling and distribution expenses
• Local logistics costs

Domestic-use LPG rates per cylinder in June 2026

The prices are steady at the following levels:

• Delhi: Rs 913 per 14.2 cylinder
• Kolkata: Rs 939 per cylinder
• Mumbai: Rs 912.50 per cylinder
• Chennai: Rs 928.50 per cylinder

Suppliers like IOCL provide LPG refills to households in 14.2-kg units.

West Asia crisis and fuel prices

India has endured an ongoing crisis in West Asia -- with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed -- by ramping up domestic production, optimising supply chains and diversifying energy imports.

The Strait of Hormuz -- central to the conflict -- normally enables the passage of one-fifth of the world's oil and gas.

The US and Iran have yet to sign a permanent peace agreement, keeping the situation uncertain. However, an active but fragile diplomatic process is underway.

The US and Israel jointly launched strikes on Iran on February 28, killing Iran's Supreme Leader and triggering Tehran's retaliatory action against several countries in the region.

A ceasefire framework has existed since April and has been extended multiple times, but both sides have accused each other of violations.
