Domestic LPG cylinder prices have been raised by Rs 29 across major cities as oil companies continue to face pressure from rising global fuel costs and ongoing energy market volatility.
Households across India will now pay more for domestic cooking gas after state-run oil marketing companies increased LPG cylinder prices by Rs 29. The revised rates came into effect from June 7. The latest increase follows earlier fuel price hikes linked to higher international crude oil prices and disruptions in global energy supplies caused by tensions in West Asia.
New LPG Cylinder Rates Come Into Effect
The price of a standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has increased from Rs 913 to Rs 942. Industry sources said the revised rates became effective from June 7. Similar price changes are expected in other cities depending on local taxes and transportation charges.
This is the second major increase in LPG prices within three months. Earlier, cooking gas prices were raised by Rs 60 per cylinder on March 7 after global fuel markets witnessed sharp fluctuations.
Officials said oil companies are still facing losses despite repeated price revisions because international energy costs remain elevated.
Global Energy Crisis Continues to Impact Fuel Prices
The latest LPG price hike comes at a time when international crude oil markets remain unstable. The conflict in West Asia has affected global energy supply chains and increased fuel import costs for many countries.
According to industry estimates, oil marketing companies were losing around Rs 703 on every domestic LPG cylinder before the latest revision. Officials stated that the recent increase only partially offsets those losses.
Fuel retailers have also been under pressure because petrol and diesel prices are reportedly still below actual market-linked costs in several regions.
Petrol, Diesel and CNG Prices Also Increased
The increase in LPG prices is part of a broader fuel price revision seen over the past few weeks. Petrol and diesel prices have reportedly increased by a combined Rs 7.50 per litre since mid-May.
Compressed Natural Gas, commonly known as CNG, has also become more expensive. Rates have increased by nearly Rs 6 per kilogram during the same period.
Industry sources claimed that oil companies are still facing losses of around Rs 11 per litre on petrol and Rs 33.6 per litre on diesel despite recent price hikes.
Government Avoids Full Burden on Consumers
The government has so far avoided passing the complete impact of rising global fuel prices directly to consumers. A portion of the financial burden is being absorbed by state-owned fuel retailers.
Officials believe a full pass-through of international prices could sharply increase inflation and household expenses. Domestic LPG remains one of the most widely used cooking fuels in India, especially in urban and semi-urban households.
Experts say future price revisions will depend on global crude oil trends, geopolitical developments, and currency movements in the coming weeks.
The revised LPG cylinder prices became effective from June 7. A 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi now costs Rs 942 after a Rs 29 increase.
Families May Feel Pressure on Monthly Budgets
The repeated increase in fuel prices is likely to affect household budgets. Cooking gas is an essential monthly expense for millions of families. Rising LPG, petrol, diesel, and CNG prices may also increase transportation and food delivery costs.
Many consumers are closely watching future government decisions on fuel subsidies and price controls. Analysts say global market stability will play a major role in determining whether prices rise further or stabilize.
