LPG, CNG and PNG prices remain stable across major Indian cities

Domestic LPG, CNG and PNG prices have remained largely stable across major Indian cities, according to the latest rates published by state-run oil marketing companies.

A 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder costs Rs 941.50 in Mumbai, while in Delhi, state-run oil companies have been selling a household cooking gas cylinder at Rs 942 since June this year.

Tripura’s South Tripura district continues to record the highest LPG price in the country, with a 14.2 kg cylinder priced at Rs 1,119.50, reflecting higher transportation and logistics costs to the northeastern state.

The 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder, typically used by restaurants and small businesses, is currently priced at Rs 2,885.50.

Piped natural gas in Mumbai stands at Rs 51.50 per unit, with no change recorded compared to the previous month’s rate.

Oil marketing companies typically revise LPG, CNG and PNG prices on a monthly basis, factoring in international crude oil prices, exchange rate movements and domestic tax structures.

The current price stability comes even as global crude oil prices have remained elevated in recent weeks, a factor that has weighed on broader market sentiment in other sectors.

Consumers have been advised to check the latest rates on their respective city gas distribution company’s website, as prices can vary by a few rupees between cities depending on local taxes and distribution costs.

CNG prices, used widely by auto-rickshaws, taxis and private vehicles in cities like Delhi and Mumbai, have also remained broadly steady in recent weeks, offering some relief to commuters amid otherwise elevated fuel costs.

Domestic cylinder prices have stayed largely unchanged in recent months despite fluctuations in international crude benchmarks, keeping household cooking gas costs relatively predictable for consumers.

Households eligible under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana continue to receive subsidised LPG connections, a scheme aimed at expanding clean cooking fuel access in rural India.
