Oil marketing companies have announced a price hike of Rs 6 for commercial LPG cylinders across India, effective Saturday, March 1. The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased from Rs 1,797 to Rs 1,803, while rates for 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinders remain unchanged since August 2024.
Smallest March 1 hike in five years
This year’s Rs 6 increase is the smallest price hike recorded on March 1 in the last five years. In contrast, March 2023 saw a steep rise of Rs 352 per cylinder. Although there was a minor relief of Rs 7 on Budget Day for the 19-kg commercial cylinder, the latest revision negates that benefit.
