Oil marketing companies (OMCs) have announced the monthly revision of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) prices, effective from today. The major highlight of this revision is a reduction in the price of the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder, providing a much-needed financial breather for hotels, restaurants, and other commercial establishments across India.
However, the price of the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder remains unchanged in the metros, continuing the rate set in the previous months.
New Commercial (19 kg) LPG Cylinder Prices – December 1, 2025
The price cut for commercial cylinders ranges from approximately ₹4.50 to ₹10 per cylinder across the major cities. This adjustment is primarily influenced by the movement in global benchmark prices and the rupee-dollar exchange rate.
| City | New Price (19 kg Commercial Cylinder) | Price Change (₹) |
| New Delhi | ₹1,580.50 | ₹10.00 (Down) |
| Kolkata | ₹1,684.00 | ₹10.00 (Down) |
| Mumbai | ₹1,531.50 | ₹10.00 (Down) |
| Chennai | ₹1,739.50 | ₹10.00 (Down) |
| Lucknow | ₹1,703.00 | ₹10.00 (Down) |
| Hyderabad | ₹1,801.50 | ₹10.00 (Down) |

(Note: Prices are indicative and may vary slightly based on the local distributor and taxes)
Domestic LPG Prices Remain Steady
For the common household, the price of the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder has seen no change this month. The prices in the four major metro cities stand as follows:
| City | Domestic LPG Price (14.2 kg Cylinder) | Price Change (₹) |
| New Delhi | ₹853.00 | ₹0.00 (Unchanged) |
| Kolkata | ₹879.00 | ₹0.00 (Unchanged) |
| Mumbai | ₹852.50 | ₹0.00 (Unchanged) |
| Chennai | ₹868.50 | ₹0.00 (Unchanged) |
Why the Price Change?
LPG cylinder prices are generally revised on the first day of every month by state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs). These prices are primarily determined by:
- Global Benchmark: The international price of crude oil and LPG, measured by the Saudi Contract Price (CP).
- Forex Fluctuation: The exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Indian Rupee.
The current reduction in commercial prices reflects a marginal softening of international LPG rates, the benefit of which is being passed on to the commercial consumer segment.
Impact on Consumers
While the domestic cylinder price remaining stable is neutral news for households, the commercial price drop is a positive step for businesses.
- Hotels and Restaurants: This reduction will slightly lower their operating costs, potentially slowing down the rise in food prices for end-consumers.
- Households: Domestic prices have remained constant for several months, providing predictability in budgeting, though at a comparatively higher baseline compared to previous years. Households should continue to monitor announcements for potential future cuts.
To check the exact LPG price for your city, consumers are advised to visit the official websites of their respective oil marketing companies (Indian Oil - Indane, Bharat Petroleum - Bharatgas, or Hindustan Petroleum - HP Gas).
