Commercial LPG Cylinder Price Hike June 2026: New Rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata & All Major Cities
Oil marketing companies raised 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder prices from June 1, 2026. Delhi sees a ₹42 jump, Kolkata ₹53.50. Household cooking gas stays unchanged — here's everything you need to know.
Commercial LPG cylinder prices were hiked from June 1, 2026 by oil marketing companies. The 19-kg commercial cylinder in Delhi now costs ₹3,113.50 (up ₹42), while Kolkata's price rose to ₹3,255.50 (up ₹53.50). The 5-kg FTL cylinder went up ₹11 to ₹821.50 in Delhi. Domestic 14.2-kg cylinder rates are unchanged — Delhi stays at ₹913.
The first day of June brought unwelcome news for India's hospitality and food-service industry. State-owned oil marketing companies — Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) — revised commercial LPG cylinder prices upward from June 1, 2026. The move follows a massive ₹993 hike on May 1, which itself came in the backdrop of supply disruptions triggered by the Middle East conflict.
Households, however, get a breather. The 14.2-kg domestic cooking gas cylinder price stays put across all metro cities, offering some relief to Indian families as inflation remains a concern heading into the second half of 2026.

5-kg FTL Cylinder Price After June 2026 Hike
The 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinder, widely used by tea stalls, kiosks, and small catering outfits, also saw a price increase. In Delhi, the rate is now ₹821.50 — up ₹11 from the previous price. New FTL cylinders range between ₹1,765.50 and ₹1,779.50, while refills are priced around ₹354.50 for the 2-kg variant.
Why Were Commercial LPG Prices Hiked in June 2026?
Oil marketing companies revise commercial LPG rates on the first of every month, based on two key factors: international LPG benchmark prices (typically the Saudi Aramco Contract Price) and the prevailing rupee-dollar exchange rate. When either of these moves against India — as they have repeatedly in 2026 — the revision flows directly into domestic commercial cylinder prices.
The June hike is the second in back-to-back months. May 1 saw a colossal ₹993 per cylinder spike, one of the largest single-month increases in recent memory, linked to supply chain pressure from the ongoing West Asia conflict. The June revision of ₹42 in Delhi, while comparatively modest, compounds a year that has been deeply painful for commercial gas consumers.
How pricing works: Domestic LPG rates are reviewed separately from commercial rates and are more politically sensitive because they directly affect household budgets. The government has historically chosen to absorb some of the cost rather than pass it immediately to households — which explains the divergence in June 2026, where commercial prices rose but domestic rates held steady.
2026 Commercial LPG Price History — How We Got Here
Who Is Affected by the June 2026 Commercial LPG Hike?
Restaurants & Hotels
High-volume users of 19-kg cylinders face compounding cost pressure. After the ₹993 May hike, even a ₹42 addition stings when margins are already thin.
Tea Stalls & Kiosks
Small vendors relying on 5-kg FTL cylinders absorb an extra ₹11 per refill — small in absolute terms, but real for businesses working on daily cash flow.
Catering & Food Delivery
Cloud kitchens and catering operations running multiple cylinders daily see direct cost increases that will likely pass through to menu prices over time.
Hospitality Industry
Post-shortage disruptions from earlier in 2026, the industry was just stabilising. The June hike adds fresh pressure to kitchen budget reviews at larger properties.
The commercial LPG revision doesn't stop at restaurant doors. Economists have flagged that sustained increases in fuel prices tend to push food inflation higher as businesses adjust menu prices. This June hike arrives alongside earlier CNG price increases of ₹6 per kg since mid-May, and cumulative petrol and diesel revisions of ₹7.35 and ₹7.53 per litre respectively — making it a challenging fuel cost environment across the board.
Government Measures and Supply Situation
The back-to-back hikes in 2026 haven't gone unnoticed by enforcement agencies. Earlier this year, authorities conducted over 6,500 LPG distribution raids in a four-day period, resulting in five FIRs and two arrests. A separate sweep covering 900 fuel retail outlets led to the seizure of large volumes of petrol and diesel, with 12 FIRs filed. The government also extended the minimum LPG refill booking interval from 21 to 25 days to curb hoarding and black market activity that flared up following the price spikes.
The Ministry of Petroleum prioritised domestic household LPG supply through this period, with non-domestic commercial supplies from imported LPG being channelled first to hospitals and educational institutions. For other commercial sectors, a committee of three Executive Directors from oil marketing companies is overseeing allocation.
What This Means for Your Business or Food Budget
If you run a restaurant or hotel in Delhi, the June 2026 commercial cylinder now costs ₹3,113.50 — compared to roughly ₹1,691 in July 2025. That's nearly double in under a year. Most food service operators have already built in one or two price revisions since March; the June hike may prompt another round of menu adjustments at smaller establishments with thinner buffers.
For households, the picture is calmer. The domestic 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi has been at ₹913 since the March 7 revision and shows no signs of changing in the near term. The government has consistently ringfenced household consumers from the global volatility hitting the commercial segment, though the ₹60 domestic hike on March 7 was a reminder that the insulation isn't permanent.
