The country’s government oil marketing companies (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL) have updated the official prices of domestic and commercial LPG cylinders today, October 7, 2026. With the arrival of the festive season, LPG rates have become the most important topic for the kitchen budget of common consumers as well as hotel, restaurant and dhaba operators. Latest rates of LPG cylinders have been released in major cities like Lucknow, Delhi, Ranchi, Patna and Kolkata. It is a matter of relief that there has been no change in the prices of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder and it is available at its stable price. On the other hand, after the recent change in the prices of 19 kg commercial cylinder, there is a slight impact on the expenditure of the business class.
The prices of 14.2 kg non-subsidised domestic LPG cylinder used by ordinary households are determined based on local VAT and freight charges in different cities:
-
National Capital Delhi: ₹803.00 per cylinder
-
Ranchi (Jharkhand): ₹860.50 per cylinder (including local tax)
-
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): ₹840.50 per cylinder
-
Patna (Bihar): ₹892.50 per cylinder
-
Kolkata (West Bengal): ₹829.00 per cylinder
-
Mumbai (Maharashtra): ₹802.50 per cylinder
-
Chennai (Tamil Nadu): ₹818.50 per cylinder
Eligible beneficiaries of the Central Government’s Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) will continue to receive the targeted subsidy of ₹ 300 per cylinder directly into their bank accounts through DBT, making this cylinder costing about ₹ 503 to Ujjwala beneficiaries in Delhi.
Amid festive demand and international crude oil fluctuations, the rates for 19 kg blue commercial gas cylinder across metros and major states are as follows:
-
Delhi: ₹1,740.00 per cylinder
-
Kolkata: ₹1,850.50 per cylinder
-
Mumbai: ₹1,692.50 per cylinder
-
Chennai: ₹1,903.00 per cylinder
-
Ranchi: ₹1,895.00 per cylinder
-
Lucknow: ₹1,856.00 per cylinder
-
Patna: ₹2,002.50 per cylinder
Due to stability in commercial cylinder prices, there will be no additional inflationary pressure on prices of eating out, sweets and catering services during festivals.
This question often arises in the minds of consumers that why there is a difference in the prices of Delhi, Ranchi and Patna in the same country. According to petroleum experts, there are three main factors:
-
Transportation Charges: The greater the distance of a city from the refinery and bottling plant, the greater the logistics cost of transporting gas there by road or rail. This is why rates are slightly higher in interior cities (like Ranchi or Patna) compared to coastal or refinery-adjacent cities (like Mumbai).
-
State Level VAT: Every state government imposes local tax (VAT) on petroleum products and LPG at different rates as per its own rules, which changes the retail selling price.
-
Dealer Commission: Handling and delivery charges paid to local distributors and delivery agents may also vary across zones.
