LPG cylinder rates on June 1: Here’s how much domestic and commercial gas costs in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru today | Today’s news
The prices of commercial LPG cylinders have been increased by ₹42 in major Indian cities on Monday, June 1, increasing the cost of restaurants, hotels, caterers and other businesses that depend on the fuel. Following revisions by the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), a commercial cylinder now stands at 19kg ₹3,071.50 in Delhi, ₹3,067 in Mumbai, ₹3,255 in Calcutta and ₹3,283 in Chennai.
Meanwhile, domestic LPG prices remained unchanged despite a 10-day sharp rise in petrol, diesel and CNG prices triggered by the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
The war in West Asia disrupted global energy supplies, including supplies to India. The three-month-long conflict affected 40% of India’s oil imports, 65% of its natural gas and 90% of its LPG supplies, which came from countries in the Persian Gulf region.
According to the latest OMC data, a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder continues to cost ₹913 in Delhi, ₹912.50 in Mumbai, ₹939 in Calcutta and ₹928.50 in Chennai.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) prices in India are usually revised at the beginning of each month depending on changes in world oil prices, exchange rates, transportation costs and government subsidy policies.
Domestic cooking gas prices remain politically sensitive due to their direct impact on household budgets. For now, consumers are getting temporary relief as LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged despite growing uncertainty in global energy markets.

The government is asking OM to expand the storage capacity
The government has asked state-run fuel retailers to expand LPG storage capacity to meet demand for at least 30 days, a senior oil ministry official said on Friday, as conflict-related supply disruptions in West Asia highlight the need for more stockpiles.
“We are working on strategic stocks. Oil marketing companies have been asked to come up with (a plan) to have LPG stocks for at least 30 days and they are working on it,” Sujata Sharma, joint secretary in the petroleum ministry, told reporters.
The government said the country had sufficient supplies of petrol, diesel, LPG, oil and natural gas, adding that refineries were operating at optimum levels and LPG production was at an all-time high of around 52,000 tonnes per day.
“No LPG distribution is reporting any drying up,” Sharma said, adding that “abnormal sales are being observed at many petrol pumps.”
