Commercial LPG prices in India hit record high with steepest ever hike of Rs 993
The price of commercial LPG in India saw a record-breaking increase of Rs 993 per 19-kg cylinder on Friday, May 1, 2026.
This marks the third consecutive monthly hike, driven by soaring global energy prices resulting from the ongoing conflict in West Asia, News.Az reports, citing The Print.
In Delhi, a commercial cylinder—primarily used by hotels and restaurants—now costs a record Rs 3,071.50, up from the previous rate of Rs 2,078.50. Over the last three months, commercial rates have surged by a total of Rs 1,303.
