Oil marketing companies have revised the prices of commercial LPG gas cylinders, with the new rates effective from Tuesday, 1st October. The cost of a 19 kg commercial LPG gas cylinder has been increased by Rs 48.50.

A 19 kg LPG cylinder will now cost Rs 1,740 up from Rs 1,691.50 in Delhi.

Along with the 19 kg variant, the prices of 5 kg Free Trade LPG cylinders have also been increased by Rs 12.

This hike comes just a few days before the beginning of the festive season.

This price revision will directly impact restaurants, hotels, and other commercial establishments that utilise these cylinders for daily operations.

Despite the increase in commercial LPG prices, there has been no change in domestic LPG cylinder rates, offering some relief to households.

The revised prices are now in effect across the country, influencing the cost structure for many businesses that rely on LPG for their cooking and operational needs. This increase may result in a higher operating cost for the affected sectors, potentially leading to a rise in prices for end consumers in various industries.

The last increase occurred on September 1 when oil marketing companies raised the price of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders by Rs 39. This hike came after a previous price cut on July 1, which was intended to alleviate costs for businesses and commercial establishments. During that adjustment, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder was decreased by Rs 30.
