New Delhi, 7th March: The price of domestic LPG cylinders has been increased across the country with effect from March 7, with the cost of a 14.2-kg household cooking gas cylinder rising by ₹60, according to sources.
With the revision, the price of a domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased from ₹853 to ₹913.
Similar increases have been recorded in other major cities. In Mumbai, the price has risen from ₹852.50 to ₹912.50, while in Kolkata, it has gone up from ₹879 to ₹939. In Chennai, the cost has increased from ₹868.50 to ₹928.50.
The hike also applies to 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders, which are widely used by hotels, restaurants and small businesses. Their price has been increased by ₹115.
In Delhi, the price of a commercial LPG cylinder has risen from ₹1,768.50 to ₹1,883. In Mumbai, the rate has increased from ₹1,720.50 to ₹1,835. In Kolkata, the price has climbed from ₹1,875.50 to ₹1,990, while in Chennai it has increased from ₹1,929 to ₹2,043.50.
The revised rates have come into effect immediately.
The latest revision marks the first increase in domestic LPG prices since April 2025, when the non-subsidised rate in Delhi was fixed at ₹853.
Meanwhile, the government has assured that there is no shortage of fuel supplies in the country despite global concerns linked to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri recently said India remains well supplied with energy resources.
“Our priority is to ensure the availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for our citizens. There is no shortage of energy in India, and there is no cause of worry for consumers,” he said in a message on social media platform X.
Indian Oil Corporation also dismissed reports circulating on social media about a shortage of petrol and diesel, calling them baseless.
The company said India has sufficient fuel stocks and that supply and distribution networks are functioning normally across the country.
Government sources have also indicated that India is currently in a comfortable position regarding crude oil, petroleum products and LPG supplies, even amid concerns over possible disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.
Officials noted that India has diversified its crude oil import sources in recent years, including increased purchases from Russia, which accounted for around 20 percent of India’s crude imports in February.
To ensure adequate LPG availability, the government has also directed refineries to increase LPG production.
Additionally, Indian public sector oil companies signed a one-year contract in November 2025 to import around 2.2 million tonnes per annum of LPG from the US Gulf Coast for 2026, further strengthening the country’s energy supply chain.
