Starting May 1, 2026, the cost of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has risen by ₹993, bringing the price to ₹3,071.50 in Delhi and ₹3,024 in Mumbai. This increase marks the third hike since the onset of the Iran war on February 28, following earlier increases of ₹144 in March and nearly ₹200 in April. The rise in LPG prices is expected to significantly impact businesses such as restaurants and eateries, which rely on LPG for daily operations, likely resulting in higher costs for consumers. In contrast, domestic LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged, providing some relief to households. Additionally, the Indian government has revised export duties on diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) effective from May 1, setting diesel export duties at ₹23 per litre and ATF at ₹33 per litre, while maintaining no duty on petrol exports.
