On May 1, 2026, commercial LPG cylinder prices saw a significant increase of ₹993, bringing the cost in Delhi to ₹3,071.50. This marks the third consecutive monthly hike, totaling ₹1,303 over the past three months. The rise is attributed to surging global oil prices, which have increased nearly 50% due to ongoing conflicts in West Asia and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Despite this, domestic LPG prices remain unchanged at ₹913 for a 14.2-kg cylinder, as the revisions primarily affect commercial users, including hotels and restaurants. The Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) clarified that the price hike impacts only a small segment of consumers, with bulk and commercial LPG accounting for less than 1% of total consumption. Overall, around 80% of petroleum products have seen no price changes, maintaining stability for the majority of consumers.
