In Delhi, the retail sale price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder is now ₹1740.50 from today, February 1.

The move will impact costs for restaurants, hotels, street food vendors and other commercial establishments that rely on LPG for daily operations.

However, the price of domestic LPG cylinder (14.2 kg) remains the same.

India imports more than 60% of its domestic LPG consumption. For domestic LPG, the government continues to modulate the effective price to consumers.

Prices of commercial LPG are set by the marketing companies independently, as per the oil ministry.

In the last monthly revision of LPG prices, the commercial cylinder price in Delhi on January 1, 2026, was ₹1691.50, which was higher than December by around ₹110.

Yet, the February 2026 price is lower than last year's February. Compared to 1740.50 now, the price on this day last year was ₹1797.

The price is set mainly by public-sector firms including Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, in line with the changes in the international market prices and other market conditions.

The international market price affects the import parity price of petroleum products. This includes exchange rate, ocean freight, insurance and customs duty among other expenses.
