Despite increasing pressure to increase fuel prices due to disruptions caused by the war in Iran, the central government has decided not to change domestic LPG rates. However, the price of commercial LPG (19 kg bottles) increased on average by ₹993.
As a result, costs have gone up in Delhi ₹2,078.50 to ₹3,071.50, while it increased in Mumbai ₹2,031 to ₹3,024.
The development comes at a time when Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum are finalizing new regulations aimed at preventing hoarding, curbing black marketing and stopping illegal diversion of subsidized gas.

Will the prices of petrol, diesel be affected? The government says…
The government said on Friday that retail fuel prices would remain unchanged and that supplies of petrol, diesel and domestic LPG remained stable, even as it introduced several measures to deal with problems caused by the developing situation in West Asia.
“Retail prices of petrol, diesel and domestic LPG (14.2 kg cylinders intended for general domestic use) remained unchanged,” the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said in a report, noting that oil marketing companies (OMCs) carried out a “calibrated price revision… for a small set of products intended primarily for the commercial, industrial and premium segments.”

The ministry reiterated that there was no need for panic buying and urged citizens to “avoid panic buying of petrol, diesel and LPG as the government is making every effort to ensure availability”.
According to the ministry, the government has ensured “100% supply… to domestic LPG, domestic PNG and CNG (Transport) even as global uncertainties continue to affect energy markets.
On LPG supplies, the government said supplies remain strong despite geopolitical pressures. “As on 30.04.2026, around 49.8 Lakh domestic LPG cylinders were supplied against bookings of around 41.6 Lakh LPG cylinders,” the ministry said, adding that “no drying up has been reported at LPG distributors.”
To stabilize demand, the government has taken several measures, including extending reservation intervals and promoting alternative fuels. “Alternative fuels such as kerosene and coal have been made available to ease demand pressure on LPG,” the ministry said.
No need to panic buy; the government is making every effort to ensure availability.
The Center has also stepped up enforcement to curb black marketing. “More than 2,300 raids were conducted across the country,” the ministry said, while “342 LPG distributors” were sanctioned and “73 LPG distributors” were suspended.
