A little sigh of relief for the commercial LPG users. Oil marketing companies have reduced the price of a 19 kg LPG gas cylinder by ₹24, effective from June 1, 2025. The new retail price in the national capital will be ₹1,723.50, providing relief to commercial users across India.
Oil companies frequently revise LPG prices in line with fluctuations in global crude oil rates and other related factors. The latest revision, effective from June 1, has brought a marginal reduction in prices. In May 2025, a 19 kg LPG cylinder was priced at ₹1,747.5 in Delhi, ₹1,699 in Mumbai, ₹1,851.5 in Kolkata, and ₹1,906 in Chennai. As per the new rates effective from June 1, the price stands at ₹1,674.5 in Mumbai, ₹1,826 in Kolkata, and ₹1,881 in Chennai.
In March 2025, a 19 kg commercial gas cylinder cost Rs 1,803 in Delhi, Rs 1,755.5 in Mumbai, Rs 1,913 in Kolkata and Rs 1,965 in Chennai.
In April 2025, an LPG cylinder would cost Rs 1,762 in Delhi, Rs 1713.5 in Mumbai, Rs 1,921.5 in Chennai, and Rs 1,868.5 in Kolkata.
The latest price cut comes as a welcome relief for countless commercial establishments and small businesses, especially restaurants, hotels, and roadside eateries that depend heavily on LPG for their daily operations. For many of these businesses already facing high running costs, the revised rates offer much-needed relief and could help reduce some of their financial burden.
Frequent changes in LPG prices are likely to affect commercial units and small businesses that rely heavily on it for their daily work. Since LPG prices vary from state to state due to local taxes and transport costs, the revised rates from June are expected to influence both individuals and businesses across the country.
Along with the LPG price revision, the cost of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) was also reduced on June 1. In Delhi, jet fuel prices were cut by ₹2,414.25 per kilolitre, or 2.82%, bringing the new rate to ₹83,072.55 per kl. This latest cut follows earlier reductions of 4.4% in May and 6.15% in April, more than making up for the price hikes seen earlier this year.
