Price changes of commercial gas cylinders in recent months
Back on December 1, 2023, commercial gas cylinder rates were raised by Rs. 21 across various locations in India. However, on New Year's Eve 2024, the price of 19kg commercial cooking gas dropped by Rs. 39.50 per cylinder. Today's price hike comes after the February 1 increase when 19kg gas cylinder rates went up by Rs. 14.
Domestic LPG cylinder prices remain stable
Despite changes in commercial LPG cylinder prices, domestic gas cylinder prices have remained the same. A 14.2kg LPG cylinder currently costs Rs. 903 in Delhi, Rs. 929 in Kolkata, Rs. 902.50 in Mumbai, and Rs. 918.50 in Chennai. State-owned companies like Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) adjust cooking gas prices on the first day of each month based on the previous month's average international price.
