Commercial LPG prices have been reduced by Rs 183.50 from July 1, bringing relief to businesses that depend on LPG for daily operations.
The latest commercial LPG price cut is the first reduction in 2026 and comes after a decline in global crude oil prices.
While restaurants, hotels, caterers, and small food businesses will benefit from lower fuel costs, there is no change in the price of the domestic LPG cylinder, leaving household consumers without any relief.
The commercial LPG prices were revised by oil marketing companies at the start of the month. The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi has been reduced to Rs 2,930, down by Rs 183.50 compared to the previous rate. The price of the standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder remains unchanged across the country.
The latest reduction follows a decline in international crude oil prices after geopolitical tensions in West Asia eased. A softer global energy market allowed oil marketing companies to lower the price of commercial LPG cylinders.
The price revision applies to the 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder, which is widely used by businesses. In addition, the 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinder has become Rs 13 cheaper, bringing its price in Delhi down to Rs 808.50.
The move is expected to reduce operating costs for several industries that rely on LPG every day.

While businesses have received relief, there is no change in the price of the 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder used in homes. Household consumers will continue to pay the existing rates, as oil marketing companies have not announced any revision for domestic LPG cylinders.
This means the latest price cut is limited to commercial users, while residential consumers will have to wait for any future revision.
The reduction in commercial LPG prices is significant because it is the first cut this year. Industry experts believe future price revisions will continue to depend on global crude oil trends, international LPG prices, and market conditions. If crude oil prices remain stable or decline further, businesses could see additional relief in the coming months.
For now, the latest revision offers welcome savings for commercial users across the country, especially businesses that consume multiple LPG cylinders every month.
