LPG Cylinder Price Today: Where Is Cooking Gas Cheapest? Check Latest Rates in Your City

LPG cylinder prices are being closely watched by households as global energy markets remain volatile amid the continuing West Asia conflict. Despite fluctuations in crude oil and international energy prices, domestic LPG prices have remained unchanged across major Indian cities in September 2026.

As of September 28, 2026, the price of a standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder is lowest among the major cities listed at ₹939.50 in Noida. Mumbai follows at ₹941.50, while Delhi's price is ₹942. Kolkata consumers pay ₹968 per cylinder.

The differences between cities are relatively small in some cases but become more noticeable when comparing cities such as Noida and Patna. Here's the latest city-wise LPG price list and what is happening in the domestic cooking-gas market.

LPG Cylinder Price Today: City-Wise Rates

The latest prices for a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in major Indian cities are:

These are the reported September 28 rates for standard 14.2-kg domestic cylinders. Prices can differ between cities because of factors including local taxes, distribution and transportation costs.

Where Is LPG Cheapest?

Among the cities in the latest list, Noida has the lowest domestic LPG price at ₹939.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder.

Mumbai is next at ₹941.50, followed by Delhi at ₹942. The difference between Noida and Delhi is only ₹2.50 per cylinder, so the saving is modest for an individual household.

At the other end, Patna has the highest price in this list at ₹1,031.50, making its cylinder ₹92 more expensive than Noida's.

These differences do not necessarily mean that households can freely choose a cheaper city's cylinder. LPG distribution is linked to local distributors and registered consumer connections.

Kolkata LPG Price Today

For consumers in Kolkata, the current price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder is ₹968.

The price has remained unchanged during September. Kolkata's rate is ₹26 higher than Delhi's and ₹28.50 higher than Noida's.

The city also has a higher price for commercial LPG. The 19-kg commercial cylinder is currently priced at ₹2,884 in Kolkata.

Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai LPG Prices

In Delhi, households currently pay ₹942 for a 14.2-kg cylinder.

Mumbai's rate is slightly lower at ₹941.50, while Chennai consumers pay ₹957.50.

The differences illustrate why checking the local rate is more useful than relying on a single national LPG price figure. Oil marketing companies publish city-specific retail prices because the final consumer price can vary depending on local conditions.

Domestic LPG vs Commercial LPG: What Is the Difference?

It is important not to confuse the domestic LPG rate with the commercial-cylinder price.

A 14.2-kg cylinder is generally used by households for cooking. The 19-kg cylinder is commonly used by restaurants, hotels, commercial kitchens and other businesses.

In September, oil marketing companies increased the price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders by around ₹9.50 to ₹11.50 in several major markets, while 14.2-kg domestic LPG prices remained unchanged.

The current commercial LPG rates include:

• Delhi: ₹2,747.50

• Mumbai: ₹2,701

• Kolkata: ₹2,884

• Chennai: ₹2,916.50

• Bengaluru: ₹2,831

• Hyderabad: ₹2,996

• Patna: ₹3,029

This distinction matters for businesses because commercial LPG is an operating cost. A sustained increase can affect restaurants, food businesses and other LPG-intensive operations.

Why Have Domestic LPG Prices Remained Stable?

The stability in household LPG prices comes despite considerable volatility in international energy markets.

Domestic LPG pricing is influenced by international energy costs, import expenses, freight, currency movements and government policy. However, changes in international prices do not necessarily translate into an immediate equivalent change in the retail price paid by households.

The government and state-owned oil marketing companies have also taken measures to maintain domestic LPG availability during periods of supply disruption.

Indian Oil had earlier said that LPG supplies remained stable and adequate despite geopolitical uncertainty, with domestic consumers receiving priority.

The company has also increased domestic LPG production during the current supply disruption, helping reduce some dependence on imported supplies.

West Asia Conflict: Could LPG Prices Rise?

The continuing conflict in West Asia remains an important risk for India's energy market.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping route for energy supplies. Any prolonged disruption can increase freight costs and make sourcing LPG and other petroleum products more complicated.

India has responded by diversifying its LPG supply sources and increasing domestic production. That can provide some protection against a sudden supply shock.

However, if international LPG prices, shipping costs or crude oil prices remain elevated for a prolonged period, pressure on the domestic LPG system could increase.

That does not mean a price increase is certain. The eventual impact will depend on international prices, supply availability, currency movements and government policy.

What Should LPG Consumers Watch Next?

The next major point for households will be the October LPG price revision.

Consumers should watch:

• International crude oil prices

• LPG import and shipping costs

• Strait of Hormuz developments

• Rupee-dollar exchange rates

• Domestic LPG production

• Government policy on household cooking gas

• Monthly revisions by oil marketing companies

A stable retail price does not necessarily mean that the underlying cost of supplying LPG is unchanged. Oil companies can absorb part of the difference between international costs and domestic retail prices, depending on policy and market conditions.

What Does This Mean for Investors?

For investors, LPG prices are only one part of the larger energy-market picture.

Companies such as Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation can be affected by crude prices, refining margins, LPG procurement costs, inventory movements and government pricing decisions.

A sharp rise in international energy costs can therefore create both opportunities and pressures across different parts of the energy value chain.

For households, however, the immediate message is simpler: there has been no September increase in the 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder price, even though global energy markets remain unsettled.

Key Takeaway

As of September 28, 2026, Noida has the lowest reported 14.2-kg domestic LPG price among the major cities listed, at ₹939.50, followed by Mumbai at ₹941.50 and Delhi at ₹942. Kolkata's rate is ₹968, while Patna is at ₹1,031.50.

Domestic LPG prices have remained unchanged in September, while commercial LPG prices were revised upward at the start of the month. With West Asia tensions continuing to influence global energy markets, the next monthly price revision will be important for both households and businesses.
