LPG price hike announced – see the new per‑kg rates in major Indian metros
The government lifted domestic LPG prices. Find the latest per‑kg rates for Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, plus the factors driving the increase.
Heads up, households across the country – the price of the cooking gas you rely on has nudged upwards. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas announced a fresh hike in domestic LPG rates, and the numbers are now live for the four biggest metros.
Starting with the capital, Delhi’s new benchmark is Rs 101 per kilogram, a modest jump but enough to make a dent in the monthly budget for many families. Heading south, Mumbai’s price tag sits at Rs 103 per kilogram, while Kolkata’s is set at Rs 102. Chennai tops the list at Rs 104 per kilogram.
Why the rise? It’s a blend of factors: global crude oil prices have been on the upswing, the cost of extracting and transporting LPG has climbed, and the central government has adjusted the excise duty to keep up with inflation. All of this trickles down to the end‑consumer.
These figures are based on the latest revisions released on June 7, 2026, and will be effective from the next billing cycle. If you’re on a fixed‑price contract with a distributor, you’ll see the change reflected in your next invoice. Otherwise, the per‑kg price will be applied at the point of purchase.
For many, especially those living on tight margins, even a few rupees extra per kilogram can add up. It’s a good time to reassess your usage, perhaps switch to a larger cylinder for better bulk pricing, or explore government subsidies that might offset part of the cost.
In short, keep an eye on your next LPG bill, and if the numbers seem steep, reach out to your local distributor – they often have schemes or payment plans to ease the transition.
