Commercial LPG Prices Hike: Costs Surge for Third Straight Month

Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have once again increased the commercial LPG cylinder prices, delivering a blow to businesses and commercial establishments. Effective from November 1, 2026, the prices for the 19-kg commercial cylinders have been revised upward, marking the third consecutive month of price hikes.
Price Breakup Across Major Cities
The impact of the price revision varies across different metropolitan hubs, with most cities seeing a standard increase, while Chennai faced a steeper hike.
- Delhi: The price increased by ₹10, bringing the cost of a commercial cylinder to ₹2,820.
- Mumbai: A ₹10 hike has pushed the price to ₹2,774.50.
- Kolkata: With a ₹10 increase, the rate now stands at ₹2,964.
- Bengaluru: The price has risen by ₹10, reaching ₹2,908.
- Chennai: The city saw the highest jump of ₹11.50, with the price hitting ₹2,994.50.
Why Are Prices Rising?
The monthly fluctuations in commercial LPG rates are not arbitrary. They are closely tied to international market conditions and global crude oil benchmarks. Specifically, the Saudi Contract Price plays a pivotal role in determining these rates. Recent geopolitical tensions and volatile global supply chain conditions have led to these repeated upward revisions over the last three months.
Relief for Domestic Consumers
While commercial users are feeling the pinch, there is a silver lining for households. The prices for the 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinders remain unchanged. The rates for domestic consumers have stayed stable since June 7, 2026, providing much-needed relief to the general public.
Mandatory e-KYC for Domestic Users
Amidst these price updates, Oil Marketing Companies have issued a regulatory reminder to domestic consumers. To ensure that subsidized refills are delivered without any interruption, users are required to complete their Aadhaar-based e-KYC authentication. This process is mandatory to verify beneficiaries and streamline the delivery of government-subsidized gas.
