Commercial LPG Rates Revised Ahead of June 2
Hotels, restaurants, caterers and other commercial establishments are set to face higher LPG costs from tomorrow after oil marketing companies announced a fresh increase in commercial cylinder prices.
Under the revised rates, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi will increase by ₹42, taking the new retail price to ₹3,113.50. In Kolkata, the hike will be ₹53.50, pushing the rate to ₹3,255.50.
The revised prices will come into effect from June 2.
Small LPG Cylinders Also Become Costlier
Apart from the standard commercial cylinders, the price of 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinders has also been increased.
Following the revision, consumers purchasing these smaller cylinders in Delhi will pay ₹821.50, reflecting an increase of ₹11 over previous rates.
Relief for Households
Despite the increase in commercial LPG prices, domestic consumers have been spared from any additional burden.
Officials have clarified that there is no revision in household cooking gas cylinder prices, meaning families using domestic LPG connections will continue paying existing rates.
Government Says Fuel Supplies Remain Stable
The latest price adjustment comes as the government continues efforts to strengthen fuel security and maintain adequate reserves of petroleum products.
Officials from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas have stated that oil marketing companies are working to maintain sufficient LPG inventories and improve reserve capacity to avoid supply disruptions.
According to government data, refineries are operating normally, LPG production remains strong and fuel stocks are considered adequate to meet demand across the country.
Crackdown on Hoarding Intensified
Authorities have also stepped up enforcement measures to prevent fuel diversion and illegal stockpiling. Recent inspections conducted across multiple states have resulted in raids, fuel seizures and legal action against violators.
Officials said demand for petrol, diesel and LPG has witnessed unusual spikes in some districts, but maintained that overall fuel availability remains stable and there is currently no shortage of essential petroleum products.
