Oil marketing companies are expected to announce revised LPG cylinder prices on April 1, 2026, as they do on the first of every month. This comes after a sharp ₹60 hike in domestic cylinder prices in March 2026 that pushed cooking gas costs to their highest level in over a year across major Indian cities.
With global crude oil prices remaining elevated due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and disruptions in international energy supply chains, households across India are watching closely for tomorrow’s price revision.
Current LPG Cylinder Prices Across Major Cities (As of March 30, 2026)
Following the March revision, here are the current domestic 14.2 kg LPG cylinder prices in major Indian cities:
Delhi: ₹913.00. Mumbai: ₹912.50. Kolkata: ₹939.00. Chennai: ₹928.50. Bengaluru: ₹915.50. Hyderabad: ₹965.00. Lucknow: ₹950.50. Bhubaneswar: ₹939.00. Chandigarh: ₹862.50. Gurgaon: ₹921.50. Noida: ₹910.50. Jaipur: ₹916.50.
These prices reflect the ₹60 increase that took effect on March 3, 2026. Before this hike, domestic cylinder prices had remained stable at ₹853 in Delhi since June 2025.
Commercial LPG cylinder prices (19 kg) have also increased significantly. In Delhi, a commercial cylinder now costs ₹1,884.50, while in Mumbai it stands at ₹1,692.00. The commercial price hike of ₹115 has directly impacted restaurants, hotels, and small food businesses across the country.
Why LPG Prices May Change Again on April 1
LPG prices in India are linked to international benchmarks, primarily the Saudi Contract Price (Saudi CP), and are revised on the first of every month by oil marketing companies including Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL).
India imports approximately 60 percent of its LPG requirement, making domestic prices sensitive to global market movements. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has disrupted energy supply routes and pushed global crude oil prices higher, which directly affects import costs for Indian oil companies.
According to a Press Information Bureau statement, the government compensated oil marketing companies ₹30,000 crore to absorb losses from keeping domestic LPG prices lower than international market rates. However, the March hike indicated that companies could no longer fully absorb the rising costs.

PM Ujjwala Yojana Subsidy Continues in 2026-27
There is some relief for eligible households. The government has extended the ₹300 per cylinder subsidy under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) for the financial year 2026-27, with an approved expenditure of ₹12,000 crore. Eligible PMUY beneficiaries can avail this subsidy for up to nine refills per year.
The subsidy amount is directly credited to the beneficiary’s linked bank account after each cylinder purchase. Over 9 crore households across India benefit from this scheme.
