Domestic LPG prices have increased by ₹29 per 14.2-kg cylinder, effective June 7, 2026, marking the second hike in three months. After this revision, the cost of a domestic cooking gas cylinder in Delhi has risen to ₹942, according to livemint.com. This follows a previous increase of ₹60 per cylinder on March 7, 2026.
The price revision was announced by state-owned oil companies grappling with elevated global energy costs. The latest adjustment reflects ongoing challenges in the international energy market, prompting the companies to raise domestic LPG rates to manage supply and costs. The hike affects major cities including Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata, as reported by livemint.com.
This price increase comes amid a volatile global energy environment, impacting household fuel expenses across India. The March hike of ₹60 was the largest in recent months, and the current ₹29 rise adds to the financial burden on consumers. The move aligns with trends of rising fuel prices worldwide, with state oil firms adjusting domestic rates to reflect international market conditions, according to livemint.com.
Following this revision, the price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi stands at ₹942. The next scheduled price review will be closely watched by consumers and policymakers as global energy prices continue to fluctuate, livemint.com reports.
