Public sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have revised their commercial LPG prices and reduced the cost of 19kg commercial LPG gas cylinders by ₹99.75. The cost of home LPG cylinders, though, won’t alter. The retail price for a 19kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi under the new tariffs will be ₹1,680 as of Tuesday.

However, sources claim that the oil marketing corporations kept domestic cooking gas prices the same. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder prices are revised on the first of every month for both household and commercial use, with the new rates taking effect on August 1. The last time domestic cooking gas prices were changed was on March 1 of this year.

Commercial LPG gas cylinder costs were raised earlier in July by ₹7 per cylinder. However, the cost of home LPG cylinders has not changed. Commercial LPG cylinder prices had dropped twice in a row before this increase, in May and June of this year. While OMCs cut the cost of a commercial LPG cylinder by ₹172 in May, they only cut it by ₹83 in June. Commercial LPG cylinder costs were reduced on June 1 by ₹83.50 to ₹1,773 per unit of 19kg, effective immediately.

However, domestic cylinder prices were not changed.

It is to be noted here that Petroleum and oil marketing companies on March 1 this year hiked the prices of commercial LPG cylinders by ₹350.50 per unit and domestic LPG cylinders by ₹50 per unit.

Noteworthy, is that oil marketing companies keep on revising the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) prices, which generally get applicable from the first of every month. Apart from this, the prices for domestic cooking gas also vary from state to state depending on local taxes.

Prices of commercial cooking gas applicable from August 1, 2023:

  • Delhi: ₹1,680
  • Kolkata: ₹1,802.50
  • Mumbai: ₹1,640.50
  • Chennai: ₹1,852.50
