LPG Prices Fall Up to ₹6.50 in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata—Relief for Hotels and Restaurants
Commercial LPG prices cut by up to ₹6.50 in major Indian metros, easing costs for businesses.
Starting November 1, 2025, thousands of restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses across India’s metros breathe a sigh of relief as state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) slash 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder prices by ₹4.50 to ₹6.50. This marks the third reduction in three months, following a ₹51.50 cut in September and a ₹33.50 drop earlier, offering cumulative savings of over ₹90 per cylinder since July.
Delhi sees a ₹5 reduction, bringing the price to ₹1,590.50 (from ₹1,595.50). Kolkata enjoys the steepest cut at ₹6.50, now at ₹1,694. Chennai drops by ₹4.50 to ₹1,750, while Mumbai settles at ₹1,542 after a ₹5 cut. The revision cushions businesses still recovering from a ₹15.50 hike in late September, with dhabas and cloud kitchens among the biggest beneficiaries.
Domestic 14.2-kg LPG cylinders remain untouched, continuing at ₹803 in Delhi, ₹802.50 in Mumbai, ₹829 in Kolkata, and ₹818.50 in Chennai (including subsidies for PMUY beneficiaries). This selective cut reflects OMCs’ strategy to support commercial recovery while maintaining household stability.

The cuts follow a volatile 2025:
- June: ↓ ₹24
- July 1: ↓ ₹58.50
- September: ↓ ₹51.50
- Late September: ↑ ₹15.50
- November 1: ↓ ₹5–6.50
Meanwhile, the Centre’s festive push under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) will distribute 2.5 million free connections, ensuring clean cooking fuel reaches rural and low-income homes. For eateries battling inflation, this ₹5–6.50 relief may not rewrite menus — but it’s a flame of hope in rising input costs.
