Double Whammy: LPG Prices Hit by second Hike in 3 Months 

07 June 2026: LPG cylinder price has now raised to ₹942 from ₹913, domestic gas has been hiked by ₹29 per cylinder. This is the second time in 3 months that the price has risen causing a global energy supply crisis that is affecting West Asia.

PTI news agency cited that the revised price comes into effect from Sunday, June 7. Earlier in March the price of cooking gas was hiked by ₹60 per cylinder in Delhi after the global energy crisis hit by the prolonged war between USA and Iran. The hike in the price of domestic gas along with the hike in prices of petrol, diesel, aviation turbine fuel, commercial LPG cylinder and LPG over constrained global supply.

State-run oil marketing companies are losing roughly ₹703 on every LPG cylinder sold before the latest revision, as reported by PTI on Sunday.The price of commercial cylinders used in hotels, restaurants and other businesses have seen a repeated price rise in recent months. The latest hike in commercial LPG was on June 1, when the prices were raised by ₹42 per 19-kg cylinder to ₹3,113. Before that the prices were hiked by ₹1,000 in May, ₹195.5 in April and by ₹114.5 in March.

The government has so far avoided a full pass-through of higher international energy prices to consumers, absorbing part of the increase through state-owned fuel retailers as global crude oil and fuel markets remain volatile.
