LPG Rate Today: Commercial cooking gas becomes more expensive as India prepares for festive season

State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) on Tuesday hiked the retail prices of commercial LPG by Rs 48.5 rupees per 19-kilogram cylinder, effective immediately. However, the three PSUs left the retail prices of LPG meant for domestic use—sold and supplied in 14.2 kg units—at the existing levels. Currently, the three oil marketing companies review LPG prices regularly and announce any changes at the end or the middle of a month.

After the revision, the retail prices of Indane-brand LPG stood at Rs 1,740 per 19-kg cylinder in New Delhi, Rs 1,692.5 in Mumbai, Rs 1,850.5 in Kolkata, and Rs 1,903 in Chennai, according to Indian Oil Corp's website, iocl.com.
