LPG Gas Price Today: Domestic LPG cylinder prices have risen by ₹29. The government has also cut the annual subsidised cooking gas cylinder entitlement for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries from nine to four. This move aligns with average household consumption. PMUY beneficiaries still receive a ₹300 subsidy per cylinder. The effective cost for them is now ₹642.

The government on Monday reduced the number of subsidised LPG cylinders available annually to PMUY beneficiaries from nine to four.
Under the scheme launched in May 2016, eligible households initially received subsidies on up to 12 cylinders a year. The quota was reduced to nine cylinders last year and has now been cut further to four.
Speaking at a media briefing, Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry Additional Secretary Praveen Mal Khanooja said the revised entitlement broadly reflects the average annual consumption pattern of PMUY households.
The government continues to provide a targeted subsidy of ₹300 per 14.2-kg cylinder to PMUY beneficiaries. The subsidy is credited directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts after every refill purchase.
Oil marketing companies increased the price of domestic LPG cylinders by ₹29 on June 7. The latest revision follows another increase earlier this year, taking the cumulative rise in Delhi to ₹89 over the past three months.
After the latest hike, the retail price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has reached ₹942.
For PMUY beneficiaries, the effective cost after the ₹300 subsidy works out to ₹642 per cylinder.
According to Khanooja, beneficiaries effectively receive support of around ₹1,000 per cylinder when compared with the government’s estimated supply cost of nearly ₹1,600 per cylinder.
Defending the latest price increase, he said the ₹29 revision translates to about Re 1 per day and around 20 paise per day for each member of a five-member household.
The following are the latest domestic LPG (14.2 kg) cylinder rates in key cities:
Domestic LPG prices differ across cities due to several factors, including:
As a result, the final retail price paid by consumers can vary even when a nationwide price revision is announced.
Domestic LPG prices are reviewed periodically by oil marketing companies based on market conditions and policy decisions.
The latest developments mean consumers are dealing with both higher refill costs and a reduction in the number of subsidised cylinders available under the PMUY scheme. While PMUY households will continue to receive a ₹300 subsidy per cylinder, they will now be eligible for subsidised support on only four cylinders annually.
Consumers planning a refill are advised to verify the latest applicable price through their LPG distributor before placing an order.
