Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Increased Ahead of Diwali Festival

Commercial Gas Price Adjustment

State-owned oil marketing companies in India have implemented a price increase for 19kg commercial LPG cylinders, effective November 1. This adjustment occurs just over a week before the Diwali festival, impacting commercial operations across the country.

Updated Pricing Across Major Cities

According to data from Indian Oil Corporation, the new rates for 19kg commercial cylinders are as follows:

• Delhi: Price increased to 2,820 INR.
• Kolkata: Price increased to 2,971 INR (up 12 INR from the previous day).
• Mumbai: Price increased to 2,775 INR.
• Chennai: Price increased to 2,994.5 INR.

Impact Assessment

This marks the third consecutive month of price adjustments for commercial cylinders. Companies increased prices by 62.50 INR in October and by 9.50 INR on September 1. Conversely, the market saw a significant reduction of 209 INR in August.

It is important to note that this revision applies exclusively to 19kg commercial cylinders. The price of 14.2kg domestic LPG cylinders, used by households, remains unchanged. Domestic prices have not been adjusted since June 7, 2026.

Verification and Transparency

Consumers and businesses are encouraged to verify official rates through the authorized websites of state-owned oil marketing companies—Indian Oil (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL). These platforms provide real-time updates and localized pricing information for commercial and domestic LPG categories.

*Confirmed Information:* The price increase applies only to commercial cylinders; domestic cylinders remain at previous price levels. *Reported Claims:* The timing of the price hike has been noted in proximity to the upcoming festive season, which typically sees higher commercial activity.
