Why Are Prices Dropping?
These consistent monthly reductions are largely driven by fluctuating international LPG and crude oil prices, as well as exchange rate movements and duties. Additional factors include bottling, marketing and distribution costs, port logistics, and dealer commissions.
OMCs typically update LPG cylinder rates on the first of every month, reflecting global market trends and supply‑chain factors.
Quick Recap
From April through August 2025, commercial cylinder rates for the 19 kg size have gone down significantly—by over ₹140 in cities such as Kolkata and Chennai, and around ₹138 in Delhi. Meanwhile, domestic cylinder prices have been frozen since April 8, following a ₹50 hike earlier that month.
For businesses and institutions that rely on commercial LPG, these cuts come as a relief—especially for food joints and hotels. Domestic consumers, however, should note that their pricing remains static for now.
