Oil Marketing Companies Increase Commercial LPG and Aviation Fuel Prices

Price Adjustments Overview

Effective November 1, 2026, oil-marketing companies have implemented a price increase for commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders. The adjustment follows recent market trends, marking the third consecutive hike for the 19-kg commercial cylinder since August.

Key Price Revisions

• Commercial LPG (19-kg): Prices have risen by approximately ₹10 per cylinder nationwide.
• Free-Trade LPG (5-kg): Refills for this category, often utilized by migrant workers, have seen an increase of about ₹2.5 per cylinder.
• Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF): Prices for domestic carriers were raised by ₹1.37 per litre, bringing the cost to ₹138.5 per litre.
• Domestic LPG: Prices for residential cylinders remain unchanged at this time.

Regional Impact

According to reported figures, the cost of a 19-kg commercial cylinder varies by region due to local taxes and logistics:

• Delhi: Price increased to ₹2,820.
• Mumbai: Price increased to ₹2,775.
• Kolkata: Price increased to ₹2,971.
• Chennai: Price increased to ₹2,994.5.

Market Context

State-owned oil-marketing companies have noted a rise in projected under-recoveries for LPG, estimating figures between ₹309 and ₹328 per cylinder for November, with projections climbing to ₹370 per cylinder in December. These companies have attributed recent volatility to fluctuations in benchmark Saudi CP prices.

Despite these adjustments, commercial LPG accounts for approximately 9.3% of total bottled hydrocarbon gas consumption in India. Government provisional data indicates an overall year-over-year decline in LPG consumption of 12.1% as of October 2026, even as fuel consumption in other sectors, such as diesel and petrol, showed growth.
