Price of commercial LPG, used by hotels and other commercial establishments, was on Tuesday hiked by ₹105 to its second-highest level but rates of subsidised gas sold to households remained on freeze.
The price of a 19-kg commercial cylinder has been hiked to ₹2,012 from ₹1,907, according to price notification from state-owned fuel retailers.
This is the second-highest rate, after ₹2,101 per cylinder in December 2021.
LPG rates are revised on the 1st of every month based on the price of benchmark fuel in the previous month.
However, the price of domestic cooking gas LPG, sold to households, has not been changed since October when it rose to ₹899.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder.
The hiatus in those rates came after criticism from the Opposition over prices being hiked by ₹90 in the previous six months.

The latest Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) by MoS&PI reveals a transformative shift in India’s economic landscape. For the first time in over a decade, granular data on Monthly Per Capita Expenditure (MPCE) highlights a significant decline in the proportional share of food spending—a classic validation of Engel’s Law as real incomes rise. Between 1999 and 2024, both rural and urban consumption pivoted away from staple-heavy diets toward protein-rich foods, health, education, and conveyance. As Indian households move beyond subsistence, these shifting Indian household spending patterns offer vital insights for social sector policy, poverty estimation, and the lived realities of an expanding middle-income population.
