LPG Big Price Cut: Cooking Gas Becomes Cheaper from December 1
What happened? On December 1, oil marketing companies revised monthly LPG rates. The change lowers the 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder price by roughly ₹10 in most major cities. Domestic 14.2-kg cylinders for household cooking were not revised and remain at the previous month’s level.
Key details and today’s update
The revision is part of the routine monthly review of LPG prices. Commercial LPG cylinder price reductions affect hotels, restaurants, caterers and other high-use customers who rely on 19-kg cylinders. For small businesses that use multiple cylinders daily, even a modest cut can reduce monthly fuel bills.
City snapshot – typical commercial LPG cylinder price (19 kg)
- Delhi: ₹1,580.50 per 19-kg cylinder
- Mumbai: ₹1,531.50 per 19-kg cylinder
- Kolkata: ₹1,684.00 per 19-kg cylinder
- Chennai: ₹1,739.50 per 19-kg cylinder
Impact on daily life
Households using domestic 14.2-kg cylinders will not see immediate savings this month. Commercial users will notice small per-cylinder savings that add up over time. For the hospitality sector and small-scale food vendors, the revision eases operating costs modestly.
Practical advice
If you manage a business that uses 19-kg cylinders, check the updated LPG revised rate for your city and adjust procurement or inventory planning accordingly. Household consumers should check their gas distributor’s official channel for any future domestic rate updates.
