LPG, CNG & PNG Prices Across Indian Cities on September 18 2026

If you’ve been watching the fuel market lately, you’ve probably noticed the headlines about Brent crude flirting with the $108‑a‑barrel mark. That bump in global oil prices has a ripple effect on everything from diesel to the cooking gas that powers millions of Indian kitchens.

Today, September 18 2026, the numbers for LPG, CNG and PNG are out, and while they don’t all move in lockstep, a few patterns are worth noting. LPG remains the go‑to cooking fuel for most households, yet many are eyeing CNG or PNG as steadier, sometimes cheaper alternatives – especially in metros where the infrastructure is already in place.

Let’s start with LPG. The 14.2 kg cylinder, which is the standard household size, is trading between ₹938 and ₹995 depending on where you are. Delhi and Noida sit at the lower end, with cylinders priced at ₹942 and ₹939.50 respectively, while Hyderabad is the priciest at ₹994. For the larger 19 kg commercial cylinder, prices hover around ₹2,700‑₹3,000. Delhi again offers a relatively modest rate of ₹2,747.50, whereas Hyderabad tops the chart at ₹2,996.

Moving on to CNG, the story is a bit more mixed. Delhi’s per‑kilogram price is ₹86.98, making it one of the cheaper options in the list. Bengaluru, however, pushes the price up to ₹97 per kilogram, and Hyderabad climbs even higher to ₹112. Mumbai and Chennai sit comfortably in the low‑90s.

PNG, the compressed natural gas that’s gaining traction for both cooking and vehicular use, shows a similar spread. In Delhi you’ll pay ₹49.59 per standard cubic metre, while Bengaluru and Hyderabad are a shade higher at ₹53 and ₹51 respectively. Most other metros, including Kolkata and Mumbai, are priced around ₹50‑₹51.

Why the differences? Local taxes, distribution costs, and the state of infrastructure all play a part. Moreover, the ongoing tension in West Asia has kept market watchers on edge, fearing supply disruptions that could nudge prices upward in the weeks ahead.

In short, if you’re budgeting for fuel this month, keep an eye on both global crude trends and the city‑specific tariffs that can shift with a single news flash. And, as always, a quick check with your local distributor can save you a few rupees.
