LPG cylinder rates on June 2: Here’s how much domestic and commercial gas costs in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru today | Today’s news
Commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder prices were revised again on June 1, sparking the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran. As of June 2026, prices have been increased ₹42 to ₹54, with Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai experiencing significant increases.
Commercial LPG cylinder prices have been revised five times since March 2026, putting pressure on hotels, restaurants and other businesses that rely on the fuel. Repeated walkouts have reportedly forced the closure of several restaurants and hospitality establishments across the country.
With the latest revision, the cost of a commercial cylinder in the national capital has gone up to ₹3,113.50 from ₹3,071.50.
Chennai also saw a sharp rise, with the price of a 19kg commercial LPG cylinder climbing to ₹3,283, according to Goodreturns.
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 drying up is reported from any LPG distribution,” Sharma said, adding that “abnormal sales are being observed at many petrol pumps.”
