LPG Cylinder Price Today: What Is the Cost of Cooking Gas?

Balasahana Suresh
Domestic LPG (cooking gas) prices in india are revised regularly by oil companies based on changes in global energy markets, exchange rates, and supply‑demand conditions. As of early March 2026, domestic LPG prices have increased modestly and vary from city to city.

📊 Current LPG Prices for Domestic Cooking Gas

Here are approximate prices for a standard 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder (commonly used for household cooking):

  • New Delhi: ₹913
  • Mumbai: ₹912.5
  • Kolkata: ₹939
  • Chennai (Tamil Nadu): ₹928.5
  • Bangalore: ₹915.5
    (All prices for 14.2 kg cylinder as of March 2026)
💡 Commercial LPG Prices Are Higher

Commercial LPG cylinders used by restaurants, small eateries, and hotels cost significantly more than domestic ones — often around ₹1,900 – ₹2,000+ for a 19 kg cylinder in major cities like Chennai.

🔁 Why Prices Change

  • LPG prices depend on international crude and LPG market rates — when global energy costs rise, domestic cylinder rates follow.
  • Prices also vary because of transport charges, local taxes, and distribution costs in different cities and states.
📌 Tips Before Booking

  • Domestic LPG cylinder bookings are typically spaced (e.g., every 25 days in urban areas) to prevent panic booking and ensure supply balance.
  • Some consumers have reported challenges with booking or receiving cylinders due to supply streamlining, but household priority is maintained over commercial supply in many regions.
