LPG Rates Today: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru Prices Remain Steady Despite Oil Shock

Even as petrol, diesel and CNG prices have surged sharply amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict and global crude oil volatility, domestic LPG cylinder prices have remained unchanged across major Indian cities.

For millions of households, the decision has provided some temporary relief at a time when transportation and fuel costs are already climbing.

According to the latest rates issued by oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Monday, May 25, the price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder continues to remain stable in key cities despite growing pressure on global energy markets.

Domestic LPG Prices Remain Unchanged

The price of a domestic LPG cylinder currently stands at:

Delhi: Rs 913
Mumbai: Rs 912.50
Kolkata: Rs 939
Chennai: Rs 928.50

The decision to keep cooking gas prices unchanged comes despite heightened volatility in international crude oil and LPG markets linked to tensions in West Asia.

Global energy prices have remained under pressure due to concerns around disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil and gas shipping routes.

Commercial LPG Still Remains Expensive

While households have been spared another immediate increase, commercial LPG prices continue to remain elevated.

The price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders had risen by more than Rs 900 last month and has largely remained stable since then.

Current commercial LPG cylinder prices in major cities are:

Delhi: Rs 3,071.50
Mumbai: Rs 3,024.00
Kolkata: Rs 3,202.00
Chennai: Rs 3,237.00

The higher commercial LPG rates continue to impact restaurants, food businesses and small commercial establishments that rely heavily on bulk cooking gas supplies.

Why LPG Prices Matter So Much

Domestic LPG prices directly affect household monthly budgets, making them politically and economically sensitive.

Cooking gas prices are revised every month by oil marketing companies based on several factors including global crude oil prices, LPG benchmark rates, freight costs, currency fluctuations and government subsidy policies.

At a time when global energy markets remain volatile, the government’s decision to avoid another increase in domestic LPG prices is likely aimed at limiting pressure on household inflation.

Oil Companies Continue To Face Pressure

Reports suggest that state-run oil retailers including Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum are continuing to absorb part of the losses on domestic LPG sales.

The companies are already under financial stress after recent increases in crude oil prices linked to the West Asia conflict. Despite those increases, OMCs continue to face mounting under-recoveries as global energy prices remain elevated.

For now, households continue to receive some relief as domestic cooking gas prices remain frozen despite uncertainty in global energy markets.

However, with crude oil prices still volatile and geopolitical tensions continuing, the future direction of LPG prices is likely to remain closely watched in the coming months.
