US-Iran-Israel War Impact on LPG Cylinder Prices in India: Cooking gas prices have been increased across the country with effect from March 7, raising the cost of both domestic and commercial LPG cylinders.

\n\n

The revision comes at a time when global energy markets remain volatile amid tensions in West Asia.

The price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder has been increased by Rs 60, while the 19-kg commercial cylinder has become Rs 115 costlier, according to a notification by oil market companies. This marks the second increase in LPG prices in less than a year.

\n\n

The latest hike comes amid rising global energy costs as geopolitical tensions in West Asia continue to push up fuel prices.

The last revision in domestic LPG prices came in April 2025, when rates were raised by Rs 50. Commercial LPG cylinders were last increased on January 1, 2026, when oil companies hiked the price of a 19-kg cylinder by Rs 111.

City-Wise Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices

According to the notification by Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on March 7, 2026, the price of a non-subsidised domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has now risen to Rs 913, up from Rs 853 earlier.

Prices have also gone up in other major cities. In Mumbai, a domestic LPG cylinder now costs Rs 912.50, compared with Rs 852.50 earlier. In Kolkata, the rate has increased from Rs 879 to Rs 930, while in Chennai it has gone up from Rs 868.50 to Rs 928.50.

Despite the increase, beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) will continue to receive government support. Over 10 crore poor households covered under the scheme will keep getting a subsidy of Rs 300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 12 refills every year.

\n\n

City-Wise Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices

For commercial LPG cylinders used by hotels, restaurants and other businesses, prices have also been revised upward.

The rate of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased to Rs 1,883, compared with Rs 1,768.50 earlier.

Similar revisions have been made in other major cities. In Mumbai, the price has moved up from Rs 1,720.50 to Rs 1,835. In Kolkata, the rate has climbed from Rs 1,875.50 to Rs 1,990, while in Chennai, it has risen from Rs 1,929 to Rs 2,043.50.

Meanwhile, the government has sought to reassure consumers on the availability of fuel. Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri recently said that India has sufficient energy supplies and that consumers should not worry about shortages.

\n\n

“Our priority is to ensure the availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for our citizens, and we are doing it comfortably. There is no shortage of energy in India, and there is no cause of worry for our energy consumers,” he said in a post on X.
