Relief for LPG Consumers: Commercial Cylinder Prices Drop Ahead of Budget
On February 1st, commercial LPG cylinder prices were reduced by ₹7, offering relief to consumers. However, the price of domestic LPG cylinders remains unchanged, with no adjustments expected until August 2024.
On February 1st, LPG consumers received some relief as the price of commercial LPG cylinders was reduced by ₹7. This small yet significant drop, however, only applies to the 19 kg commercial cylinders, not the domestic ones (14 kg cylinders), which remain unchanged since August 2024.
According to the latest update from Indian Oil, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi has now been reduced to ₹1797, down from ₹1804 in January. Similarly, in Kolkata, the price has decreased to ₹1907 from ₹1911. In Mumbai, the price has come down to ₹1749.50, from ₹1756 earlier. In Kolkata, the price for a blue 19 kg cylinder has also been revised to ₹1959.50 from ₹1966.

In Kolkata, the price is ₹829, while in Mumbai and Chennai, it is ₹802.50 and ₹818.50, respectively.
Looking at LPG prices in previous years, the prices have fluctuated slightly around the budget periods. In the 2024 budget day, the price of the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was ₹1769.50 in Delhi, ₹1887 in Kolkata, ₹1723.50 in Mumbai, and ₹1937 in Chennai. Compared to the 2023 budget, there was no change in the prices of commercial LPG cylinders.

This slight reduction in commercial cylinder prices will provide some relief to businesses and consumers, especially with the budget discussions just around the corner. However, the unchanged rates for domestic cylinders have left many wondering about future adjustments.
