Starting September 1, 2025, oil marketing companies have rolled out a significant price reduction for 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders, slashing rates by Rs 51.50. This move, effective from Monday, brings much-needed relief to businesses across India, particularly small enterprises and restaurants grappling with rising operational costs. The price cut marks the fifth consecutive reduction in commercial LPG prices, reflecting a consistent effort to ease the financial burden on commercial users.

In Delhi, the retail price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder now stands at Rs 1,580, a notable drop from its previous rate. Mumbai sees an even lower price at Rs 1,531.50, while Kolkata’s price is set at Rs 1,684. However, Patna records the highest price among major metros, with a cylinder costing Rs 1,829. This variation in pricing across cities highlights the regional differences in fuel distribution and market dynamics, yet the overall reduction is a welcome change for businesses nationwide.

Unlike commercial cylinders, the prices for 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinders remain unchanged. Households in Delhi will continue to pay Rs 853 per cylinder, while Mumbai residents face a slightly lower rate of Rs 852.50. In Kolkata, the price is Rs 879, and Patna again tops the list with Rs 942.50 per cylinder. The stability in domestic cylinder prices ensures that household budgets remain unaffected, allowing the price cut to specifically target commercial sectors that rely heavily on LPG for their operations.

This latest reduction follows a pattern of consistent price cuts, with the previous slash on July 1, 2025, bringing down the cost of 19 kg cylinders by Rs 58. The cumulative effect of these reductions is significant, offering businesses a chance to stabilize their expenses amid fluctuating fuel costs. For small-scale eateries, hotels, and other commercial entities, this price drop could translate into lower operational costs, potentially allowing them to pass on savings to customers or invest in business growth.

The decision by oil marketing companies to focus on commercial LPG prices reflects a broader strategy to support economic recovery in sectors hit hard by fuel price volatility. As businesses continue to navigate post-pandemic challenges, such measures provide a critical lifeline, ensuring that essential services like food and hospitality remain viable. With no changes to domestic cylinder prices, the focus remains squarely on bolstering commercial sectors, making this price cut a targeted effort to drive economic resilience.
