Government oil marketing companies—Indian Oil (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL)—have not made any major changes in the prices of 14.2 kg Domestic LPG Cylinder, which directly impacts the kitchen budget. While the prices of commercial gas cylinders (19 kg) continue to see revisions on a monthly basis, the rates of 14.2 kg domestic cylinders used by common citizens have remained stable.
Due to different state level VAT, local body taxes and transportation freight charges, there is slight variation in the retail prices of domestic cylinders in different cities of the country. For example, rates are relatively low in cities located close to refineries and coastal areas, while in interior and hilly states the price can exceed ₹1,000 when transportation costs are added.
Today's latest rates for 14.2 kg non-subsidized domestic LPG cylinder in major metros and major state capitals of the country are as follows:
| city/state | Today's price of 14.2 kg domestic cylinder |
| New Delhi | ₹942.00 |
| Mumbai (Maharashtra) | ₹941.50 |
| Kolkata (West Bengal) | ₹968.00 |
| Chennai (Tamil Nadu) | ₹957.50 |
| Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) | ₹979.50 |
| Noida/Ghaziabad | ₹939.50 |
| Patna (Bihar) | ₹1,042.00 |
| Ranchi (Jharkhand) | ₹999.50 |
| Jaipur (Rajasthan) | ₹946.50 |

More than 10 crore poor families registered under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will be provided subsidy on every 14.2 kg cylinder by the Central Government. Direct targeted subsidy of ₹300 Is given.
-
This subsidy amount is directly transferred to the beneficiary's Aadhaar-linked bank account (DBTL – PAHAL Scheme).
-
For example, while a typical consumer in Delhi pays ₹942, a Ujjwala beneficiary effectively pays only Rs. ₹642 falls in.
-
While the rate for a typical consumer in Ranchi is ₹999.50, the net cost for Ujjwala families is around ₹699.50 Sits.
-
Under the Ujjwala scheme, a family gets the benefit of this concessional rate up to a maximum of 12 cylinders in a financial year.
Often a question arises in the minds of consumers that why a cylinder is sold for ₹ 942 in Delhi and ₹ 1,042 in Patna in the same country:
-
Transportation Costs: After crude oil is imported, it is processed in coastal refineries. The greater the distance from the bottling plant to the consumer's city, the more the transportation charge will add up.
-
State Level VAT: Apart from the basic rules of the Central Government, each State Government imposes different rates of local tax and VAT on petroleum products and LPG.
-
Dealer Commission and Handling: There is slight variation in the loading-unloading of cylinders and dealer margins in different geographical areas depending on the local rules.
