On Wednesday, commercial LPG prices were increased by ₹195.50 following a surge in global oil prices caused by the escalating conflict in West Asia. A 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder now costs ₹2,078.50 in Delhi, according to state-run oil companies. The previous hike of ₹114.50 per cylinder was implemented on March 1. Domestic cooking gas rates remain unchanged. The 14.2-kg cylinder, last raised by ₹60 on March 7, continues to cost ₹913 in Delhi.

State-owned companies—Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum—adjust ATF and LPG prices on the first day of each month based on international benchmarks and currency exchange rates. Global oil prices have risen nearly 50% due to disruptions in energy supply chains from the West Asia conflict.

Petrol and diesel prices remain frozen following a ₹2 per-litre cut in March last year, with petrol priced at ₹94.72 per litre and diesel at ₹87.62 in Delhi. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas stated that domestic LPG, petrol, and diesel consumers are largely shielded from rising international fuel costs, while commercial LPG and premium petrol see upward adjustments.

According to the Ministry, commercial LPG, primarily used by industries and hotels and accounting for less than 10% of total LPG consumption, is market-driven and revised monthly. The April 1 price hike was attributed to a 44% increase in the Saudi Contract Price, from $542 per MT in March to $780 per MT, compounded by 20–30% of global LPG supplies being stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. The Ministry reiterated that domestic LPG consumers continue to be protected under government policy.
