Diwali Dampener: LPG Prices Rise Again!
1 Nov
Summary
- Commercial LPG prices increased for the third consecutive month.
- Domestic LPG prices remain unchanged for the sixth month.
- International propane and butane rates influenced the hike.
Ahead of the Diwali festival, commercial LPG cylinder prices in India have been hiked for the third month in a row. Effective November 1, 2026, the price of 19kg commercial LPG cylinders saw an increase of Rs 10 to Rs 17 in major metropolitan areas.
This marks the third consecutive monthly increase for commercial LPG. Meanwhile, domestic LPG prices, used by most households in 14.2kg cylinders, have remained unchanged for the sixth consecutive month. The current price for domestic LPG in Delhi is Rs 942.
The recent surge in commercial LPG prices is linked to an increase in international propane and butane rates by major suppliers like Saudi Aramco and Algeria's Sonatrach for November 2026. These global price movements directly influence India's LPG pricing, which is benchmarked against the Saudi Contract Price.
Global crude oil prices have also seen a rise, with Brent crude trading above $113 per barrel and US WTI crude above $104 per barrel in October 2026. While commercial LPG prices are market-determined, domestic LPG rates have been stable since June 7, 2026.
