LPG Cylinder Price Hike: Know the Updated Refill and Home Delivery Charges
India's LPG cylinder prices have seen significant hikes due to global supply chain disruptions, impacting both households and commercial users. New delivery fees and pricing adjustments are essential for managing inventory amid geopolitical tensions.
Highlights
- •LPG cylinder price hike
- •Additional home delivery fee of ₹25 per refill
- •Refill cost of 5-kg 'Chhotu' cylinder now₹821.50
- •Price increase of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder to ₹3,113.50 in Delhi
The global supply chain disruptions, triggered by ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, are impacting fuel costs across countries. India is now witnessing a rise in domestic cooking gas cylinder prices, with the 5-kilogram 'Chhotu' cylinder marking a hike of ₹11 per refill as of June 1, 2026.
Updated Refill and Delivery Fees
The Indian oil company has implemented an additional delivery fee of ₹25 for home refills via designated Points of Sale (PoS). Customers can obtain the Chhotu cylinder from authorised Indane Gas distributors, Indian Oil retail outlets, or select grocery stores. A valid identity card is all that's required to secure a connection. For those who change their minds, refunds are generous – up to ₹500 per cylinder upon return in any condition.
The price hike began on May 1, with the small 5-kilogram 'Chhotu' cylinder seeing an increase of ₹993, now selling for ₹821.50 each refill. Meanwhile, a jump of ₹42 has brought the cost of a 19-kilogram commercial LPG cylinder to ₹3,113.50 in Delhi, from the previous price at ₹3,071.50.
Breaking Down the Cost Implications
The rise in LPG cylinder prices affects not just households but businesses as well. For commercial usage, the 14.2-kilogram cooking gas cylinder has maintained its price despite the hike among smaller models. However, users are particularly hit by the higher costs of refill and delivery services.
This adjustment in pricing is part of a broader strategy to manage inventory levels amid supply chain uncertainties, ensuring uninterrupted service for consumers and businesses alike. With these measures, the Indian government aims to mitigate risks associated with international disputes that could disrupt fuel imports.
