State-run oil marketing companies have revised the retail selling rates of commercial liquefied petroleum gas cylinders across key metropolitan and regional markets, pushing operating fuel expenses higher for hospitality and commercial establishments. The upward revision took effect on November 1, 2026, establishing new pricing benchmarks across urban centers. Following this adjustment, Patna recorded the steepest commercial rate at Rs 3,117.50 per 19 kg bottle, whereas household consumers saw relief as domestic 14.2 kg cylinder prices remained completely untouched across all distributor networks.
Breakdown of Commercial Cylinder Price Hikes by City
The extent of price revision on 19 kg commercial cylinders varied significantly across geographical zones depending on local market adjustments. In northern distribution clusters including Delhi and Gurgaon, commercial LPG was made costlier by Rs 10 per cylinder. The most modest adjustment occurred in Jaipur, where the increase stood at Rs 8 per unit. Conversely, the sharpest upward spikes among northern and eastern markets were concentrated in Kolkata and Patna.
Western and southern metropolitan centers also recorded notable price upward shifts. Retail commercial rates climbed by Rs 10.50 in both Mumbai and Chandigarh. In Bangalore, rates advanced by Rs 11 per cylinder, while southern urban markets including Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram experienced increases of Rs 11.50 and Rs 12.50 respectively. The single largest individual hike among major monitored cities was recorded in Bhubaneswar, where suppliers added Rs 16 to the cost of a 19 kg cylinder.

LPG Consumption Trends and International Supply Dynamics
Broader energy market data highlighted that nationwide LPG consumption slipped to an 8-month low of 2.61 million tonnes. This volume dip occurred alongside expanding incoming shipments originating from American and Algerian suppliers, navigating around transit complications linked to the Strait of Hormuz blockade triggered by the West Asia conflict. From an immediate month-on-month perspective, fuel consumption rebounded marginally by 2.8 percent, though it contracted by 9 percent when measured on a year-on-year basis.
