LPG consumers planning to book a cooking gas cylinder on September 5, 2026, can check the latest domestic and commercial cylinder prices before placing an order.

According to the latest rate update, there has been no fresh change in the price of the standard 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder. However, commercial LPG cylinders became costlier from September 1, with prices varying from city to city.

The difference in LPG prices across cities means households as well as businesses should verify the applicable local rate before booking a refill.

Domestic LPG Prices Remain Unchanged

The price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder remains unchanged as of September 5.

In Mumbai, a domestic cylinder is priced at ₹941.50, while consumers in Kolkata have to pay ₹968. In Chennai, the rate stands at ₹957.50.

Other major cities also continue to see different retail prices depending on location. The variation reflects city-specific distribution and pricing factors.

There has been no new revision in domestic LPG prices on September 5, according to the rate update.

LPG Price Today: City-Wise Rates

Here are the latest domestic and commercial LPG prices mentioned in the September 5 update:

These figures show that LPG prices can differ substantially depending on the city, particularly in the commercial category.

Commercial LPG Became Costlier in September

While household LPG prices have stayed unchanged, commercial users saw a price increase at the beginning of September.

The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder was raised on September 1, 2026. According to the report, the increase ranged from ₹9.50 to ₹11.50 per cylinder depending on the city.

This followed a much larger reduction in August, when commercial cylinder prices were cut by roughly ₹192 to ₹200. Prices had also been reduced in July by as much as around ₹183.50 in some cases.

Commercial LPG is widely used by hotels, restaurants, catering businesses and other establishments, making changes in these prices particularly relevant for businesses with significant fuel consumption.

When Were Domestic LPG Prices Last Revised?

Domestic LPG prices were last revised in June 2026.

At that time, the price of the 14.2-kg cooking gas cylinder was increased by ₹29.

Before that, domestic LPG prices had also risen in March amid higher international energy prices and tensions in West Asia. The increase during that period was around ₹60, according to the source report.

As a result, households have already absorbed multiple increases earlier in the year even though there has been no additional change in the latest September 5 update.

LPG Consumption Has Declined in India

Another important trend highlighted in the report is the decline in domestic LPG consumption.

Data attributed to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell shows that domestic LPG consumption between April and August 2026 fell by 15.9% to 11.3 million tonnes.

During the corresponding period a year earlier, consumption stood at 13.4 million tonnes.

The decline suggests that household cooking-fuel usage patterns are changing, with alternative fuels and expanding gas infrastructure likely contributing to the shift.

Expansion of PNG Connections Is Changing the Market

The fall in domestic LPG consumption comes at a time when piped natural gas, or PNG, is being expanded to more households.

The government has been promoting PNG connections as part of efforts to increase the use of cleaner cooking fuels and reduce dependence on cylinders in areas where piped gas infrastructure is available.

The report links the decline in LPG demand with the growing reach of PNG connections under the National PNG Drive.

This trend could gradually change how urban households meet their cooking-fuel requirements.

Rules Tightened for Homes With PNG Connections

The report also states that households receiving PNG connections are being required to surrender their domestic LPG cylinders.

According to the information cited, homes with PNG connections will no longer receive domestic LPG refills after surrendering the cylinder. More than 80,000 consumers are said to have already surrendered their cylinders.

Consumers affected by such rules should check the exact requirements applicable in their area and with their authorised gas distributor before taking any action.

Why International Energy Prices Matter

LPG prices in India can also be influenced by movements in international energy markets.

The source notes that higher crude oil prices during tensions in West Asia earlier in 2026 contributed to pressure on domestic LPG rates. This was followed by the March increase and another revision in June.

Global energy prices, currency movements, supply conditions and domestic pricing decisions can all influence the cost ultimately paid by consumers.

What Consumers Should Check Before Booking

For households, the main takeaway on September 5 is that the domestic LPG price remains unchanged.

However, the actual amount payable varies by city, so checking the local rate before booking is useful. Commercial users should pay particular attention because the 19-kg cylinder price was revised from September 1.

Consumers can also check the final amount shown by their authorised LPG distributor or booking platform before confirming the refill.

For now, domestic customers have received some relief from further price changes, while commercial LPG users are dealing with a small increase at the start of September.
