For households, there is
no change in domestic LPG prices. The last revision occurred on
April 8, 2025, when prices increased by ₹50 in delhi, bringing the 14.2 kg cylinder to ₹853.Earlier, on
August 30, 2023, a significant cut of
₹200 was made to domestic cylinders. Since then, prices have remained largely stable, with the government keeping domestic LPG rates separate from commercial adjustments.
5. Why Commercial Prices Fluctuate More
Commercial LPG is priced based on
global crude oil trends, supply-demand dynamics, and operational costs. Because businesses consume LPG in larger volumes, even a modest price reduction, like ₹50, can
translate into substantial monthly savings.Domestic LPG, however, is
subsidized and tightly regulated, so its price changes are infrequent and typically smaller than commercial adjustments.
6. What Users Should Know
The price cut applies
from september 1, 2025, and will be reflected in purchases at authorized distributors.Commercial users, such as catering services, hotels, and restaurants, can
plan their monthly budgets based on the reduced rates.
Domestic users should continue to monitor for any official updates but currently have no changes.
7. The Takeaway
The
September 2025 commercial LPG price cut provides welcome relief for businesses that rely heavily on gas cylinders. While domestic consumers remain on the same rate, the government’s careful balancing of commercial and domestic pricing ensures
affordable access for homes while supporting
business sustainability.As prices continue to fluctuate with market trends, both commercial and domestic consumers are advised to stay informed and check with
authorized distributors for the latest updates.
