As soon as the month of October starts, the festive atmosphere is at its peak across the country and meanwhile, the latest prices of LPG cylinders have been updated by the oil marketing companies (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL) on October 11, 2026. Keeping in mind the kitchen budget of the common man during the festive season, there has been no change in the prices of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder, due to which housewives and common families have heaved a sigh of relief. From the country's capital Delhi to Bihar's capital Patna and Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow, the prices of domestic gas cylinders remain completely stable. However, the impact of the price increase made in early October on 19 kg blue commercial cylinders used in commercial activities, restaurants, sweet shops and dhabas is clearly visible in the markets. Amid increasing festive demand, gas distribution companies have issued instructions to ensure smooth supply.
According to the data released on the official portal of Indian oil companies, the price of 14.2 kg non-subsidized domestic LPG cylinder remains stable in metros and major cities. Domestic cylinder is available for Rs 803 in the country's capital New Delhi. At the same time, its price in the financial capital Mumbai is Rs 802.50. In Kolkata, West Bengal, consumers are getting domestic cylinder for Rs 829, while in Chennai it is being sold at Rs 818.50. Talking about the major states of North India, a 14.2 kg cylinder is priced at around Rs 840.50 in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. Whereas in Patna, Bihar, due to local VAT and higher transportation cost, the domestic cylinder rate is stable at Rs 1031.50 per cylinder. Due to no major change in domestic cylinder prices for a long time, the budget of middle class families remains balanced during festivals.
In contrast to the relief being provided to domestic consumers, the increase in the prices of commercial gas cylinders which was recorded at the beginning of October, continues to have its effect on October 11. In the national capital Delhi, the price of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has increased by Rs 62.50 and has reached close to Rs 1,802. Whereas in Kolkata it is being sold at Rs 1,911.50, in Mumbai at around Rs 1,754 and in Chennai at Rs 1,964 per cylinder. In Patna, the capital of Bihar, the price of 19 kg commercial cylinder has been recorded at a high level of around Rs 3,100.50. In this busy festive season of Dussehra, Karva Chauth, Dhanteras and Diwali, the increased gas prices are increasing the costs for confectioners, hotel operators, street food vendors and catering businessmen. Business organizations say that the cost of commercial gas is directly affecting the cost of outside food and packaging of sweets.
The relief provided on LPG cylinders to poor families registered under the Central Government's ambitious 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana' (PMUY) continues. To more than 10 crore beneficiary families covered under the scheme, a direct subsidy of Rs 300 per cylinder of 14.2 kg (Direct Benefit Transfer – DBT) is being transferred to their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. This means that while a domestic gas cylinder is costing Rs 803 to a common consumer in Delhi, families eligible for the Ujjwala scheme are effectively getting it for just Rs 503. Similarly, in Patna and Lucknow also, due to refund of subsidy amount of Rs 300 in their accounts, rural and weaker section women are getting great protection from the onslaught of expensive fuel.
LPG prices depend on the benchmark prices of crude oil and natural gas in the international market and the exchange rate of the rupee against the US dollar. Prices vary depending on local sales tax (VAT) and distance from depot (Freight Charges) in each state.
