Indicative of continued stress on liquified petroleum gas (LPG) as the West Asia war continues for more than ninety days, price of 19-kg commercial LPG increased ₹42 per cylinder June 1.
In addition to the commercial cylinder, price of the 5-kg free trade LPG (FTL) also increased ₹11.
The 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi is now priced at ₹3,113.5 whilst the 5-kg FTL would be sold at ₹821.5.
What is changing for UPI and LPG from June 1, 2026? Everything to know
Although, essential to note, the price of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder remains unchanged at ₹913 per cylinder.
The price of commercial LPG has been hiked for the fourth time since the conflict in West Asia commenced February 28 this year.
Price of the 19 kg commercial cylinder was last hiked by a steep ₹993 per cylinder May 1. This was preceded by another ₹195.5 per cylinder hike that was affected April 1.
The first of these hiked took place March 7 when it was hiked by ₹115 per cylinder.
A similar paradigm holds for the 5-kg free trade LPG. Price of the small cylinder has experienced its third hike since the conflict began.
It was last hiked by a steeper ₹261 per cylinder May 1, preceded by ₹51 hike on April 1.
Increased prices of 5kg free trade LPG (FTL) also translates to increased pressure, particularly on migrant labourers in urban and semi-urban areas who do not have local address proof and thus, rely on the mini-cooking cylinder.
