Indian households will have to pay more for cooking gas from June 7, as the price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder has been increased by ₹29. The latest revision marks the second hike in domestic LPG prices in the last three months and is expected to impact millions of families across the country who rely on LPG for daily cooking needs.
According to revised rates issued by state-owned fuel retailers, the price of a domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased from ₹913 to ₹942 with immediate effect. Similar revisions have been implemented across other major cities, although the final retail price varies depending on local taxes, transportation costs and regional factors.
India’s three major public-sector fuel retailers — [Indian Oil Corporation](https://iocl.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com), [Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited](https://www.bharatpetroleum.in?utm_source=chatgpt.com) and [Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited](https://www.hindustanpetroleum.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com) — generally revise fuel prices in tandem, and the new rates have been adopted across their distribution networks.
The increase comes at a time when household budgets are already under pressure from rising living costs. LPG remains the primary cooking fuel for a large section of India’s urban and rural population, making even a modest price increase significant for monthly household expenses. Analysts note that recurring fuel price revisions can have a direct impact on disposable income, especially among middle- and lower-income families.
Industry observers link the latest hike to fluctuations in global energy markets and higher input costs. While oil companies have not issued a detailed public explanation for the latest revision, domestic fuel prices are often influenced by international energy trends, import costs and currency movements. Recent volatility in global fuel markets has added pressure on energy companies worldwide.
The latest increase follows an earlier hike of ₹60 per cylinder implemented in March, indicating a steady upward trend in domestic LPG prices during 2026. Consumers and industry experts will now closely watch future revisions, especially as global energy markets remain uncertain.
For now, the revised LPG rates are effective from June 7, and consumers booking cylinders from this date onward will have to pay the higher price.
