Domestic cooking gas consumers will face a ₹29 increase in the price of LPG cylinders, effective June 7, 2026. The price for a standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi will rise to ₹942 from ₹913. This adjustment is the second in three months, with a previous increase of ₹60 implemented on March 7, 2026, due to geopolitical tensions affecting global energy prices. Oil marketing companies are grappling with high import costs, resulting in losses of about ₹703 per cylinder sold prior to this hike. The latest increase reflects ongoing pressures from elevated global energy prices, as the government has refrained from passing the full burden of these costs onto consumers. Additionally, the price hike occurs within a broader context of rising fuel prices across India, where petrol and diesel have also seen cumulative increases of ₹7.50 per litre since mid-May. Despite these adjustments, oil companies continue to sell petrol and diesel below their actual costs, leading to losses of ₹11 per litre on petrol and ₹33.6 per litre on diesel, indicating ongoing financial challenges for the sector.
