LPG Price Hiked Again: Cooking Gas Gets Costlier
7 Jun
Summary
- LPG cylinder prices rose by Rs 29, affecting Delhi consumers.
- This marks the second price increase in the past three months.
- Oil companies were losing Rs 703 per cylinder before the hike.
Domestic cooking gas LPG prices have seen another increase, with a Rs 29 per cylinder hike taking effect on June 7, 2026. This marks the second such price adjustment within the past three months. In Delhi, the cost of a 14.2-kg LPG cylinder now stands at Rs 942, up from Rs 913.
This recent surge follows a significant Rs 60 per cylinder increase on March 7, 2026, which was largely a response to global energy supply disruptions stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. Industry sources indicate that even with these price adjustments, state-owned fuel retailers are still grappling with substantial losses.
Prior to the latest revision, these companies were estimated to be incurring a loss of approximately Rs 703 on each LPG cylinder sold. The current price increase is understood to be a partial measure to mitigate these ongoing financial pressures.
