In a welcome move ahead of the Raksha Bandhan festival, the government has provided relief to consumers by reducing the price of commercial LPG cylinders. Oil marketing companies have slashed the price of 19-kg commercial LPG gas cylinders by ₹33.50 across the country. The revised prices have come into effect from Thursday, August 1, 2025.

New Commercial Cylinder Prices Effective from August 1

As per the updated rates, a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi now costs ₹1,631.50, down from ₹1,665. In Kolkata, the price has dropped to ₹1,734.50 from ₹1,769, while Mumbai sees a reduction to ₹1,582.50 from ₹1,616. Similarly, in Chennai, the price now stands at ₹1,789, down from ₹1,823.50.

This price cut is expected to offer significant respite to businesses dependent on commercial LPG, including restaurants, catering services, and other segments of the food industry.

No Revision in Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices

While the commercial segment has witnessed a price drop, no changes have been made to domestic LPG cylinder prices. The cost of the 14.3-kg domestic LPG cylinder has remained unchanged since April 8, 2025.

In Delhi, the domestic LPG cylinder continues to be priced at ₹853. The prices in other major cities also remain stable.

Subsidy for Ujjwala Scheme Beneficiaries

Under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), around 10 crore families continue to receive a ₹300 per cylinder subsidy. This amount is directly transferred to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts, offering financial relief to economically weaker sections.

With this latest revision, the government signals an attempt to balance commercial cost reduction with continued support for domestic consumers and Ujjwala beneficiaries, especially during the festive season.
