LPG Price Hike: 5-Kg LPG ‘Chhotu’ Cylinder Gets Costlier From July 1, Check New Rates

Consumers using 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinders will have to pay more from June 1 after oil marketing companies revised prices upwards as part of their monthly review.

According to media reports, the price of a 5-kg FTL LPG cylinder has been increased by Rs 11 with effect from June 1, 2026. In Delhi, the revised price now stands at Rs 821.50, compared with Rs 810.50 earlier.

The revision comes even as the price of the standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder has been left unchanged.

5-kg FTL Cylinder Price Increased

As per reports, oil companies review LPG prices at the beginning of every month, with revisions linked to movements in international crude oil and natural gas prices.

Following the latest revision, consumers purchasing a 5-kg FTL cylinder in the national capital will now pay Rs 821.50, reflecting an increase of Rs 11 over the previous price.

What Is a Free Trade LPG (FTL) Cylinder?

Unlike the conventional 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder supplied for household use, the 5-kg FTL cylinder is primarily designed for customers requiring smaller quantities of cooking gas.

It is commonly used by tea stalls, roadside eateries, small food businesses, temporary kitchens, travellers and consumers who frequently relocate. Its compact size also makes it a practical option for short-term or commercial use.

Why Have Prices Been Revised?

LPG prices are reviewed by oil marketing companies on the first day of every month.

The latest increase comes against the backdrop of continued volatility in global energy markets. International crude oil and gas prices have remained under pressure in recent weeks amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia and concerns over energy supplies.

These global factors continue to influence domestic pricing decisions for non-subsidised LPG products.

Small Businesses May Feel the Impact

The latest increase is expected to affect consumers and businesses that rely on smaller LPG cylinders for their day-to-day operations.

Tea stalls, snack vendors, small restaurants and other micro businesses are among those likely to see operating costs edge higher. While an Rs 11 increase may appear modest, it adds to the overall cost burden at a time when many small enterprises are already dealing with higher input expenses.

No Change in Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices

For now, households using the standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder have been spared any increase, with oil companies keeping retail prices unchanged.

According to market experts cited in reports, future revisions will continue to depend on developments in international energy markets. Consumers will also be watching for any changes in the prices of domestic LPG, petrol and diesel in the coming months as global crude oil trends evolve.
