Price Of LPG Cylinders

There are different prices for domestic and commercial consumers of LPG cylinders.

Other cities such as Hyderabad recorded domestic LPG at ₹965 and commercial cylinders at ₹2,320.50, while Patna reported ₹1,002.50 for domestic cylinders and ₹2,353.50 for commercial use.

Recent Price Revisions

Domestic LPG rates have been increased by ₹60 per 14.2 kg cylinder in March and there have been no other changes since, resulting in steady rates for cooking gas for households in India.

There have been, however, two rate revisions in the commercial segment in the recent months where commercial LPG was increased by ₹144 in March and increased further by about ₹200 from April 1.

Situation Of Supply And Official Figures

According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the supply of LPG for domestic use is normal despite the disruptions globally. According to official data, more than 52 lakh cylinders have been supplied on April 11 without any shortage at LPG distributor centers.

The ministry also stated that concerns about shortages are unfounded, even as supply chains face pressure due to geopolitical developments in West Asia.

Impact Of Global Supply Disruptions

India imports about 60% of its LPG requirements, with nearly 90% of these imports routed through the Strait of Hormuz, according to government data. The disruption of this route has affected supply logistics.

To manage availability, authorities have prioritised LPG distribution to domestic households, while supply to commercial establishments has been adjusted.

LPG And PNG Supply Mix

The government said LPG supply is more exposed to global disruptions due to import dependence. On the other hand, the supply of PNG occurs through a combination of local and international sources of natural gas in liquefied form, ensuring reliability in supplies.

According to official statistics released by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, local supply of natural gas and importation of LNG are sufficient to cover the PNG requirements.

However, LPG is affordable for domestic customers, whereas commercial consumers are still grappling with increased costs after the recent adjustments due to global supply problems.
