Commercial LPG cylinder price hiked by ₹111 from January 1, domestic rates unchanged

The new year has begun with an inflationary jolt as oil marketing companies increased the price of commercial LPG cylinders across the country. With effect from January 1, 2026, the price of the 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder has been raised by up to ₹111 per cylinder.

There has been no change in the prices of 14-kg domestic LPG cylinders, providing some relief to household consumers.
