LPG cylinder rates on May 29: Here's how much domestic and commercial gas costs in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru today

Domestic LPG prices in major Indian cities remained steady on Friday, May 29, defying the sharp, ten-day surge in petrol, diesel, and CNG costs triggered by the ongoing US-Iran conflict.According to the latest data from oil marketing companies (OMCs), the price of a 14.2-kg domestic cylinder holds at ₹913 in Delhi, ₹912.50 in Mumbai, ₹939 in Kolkata, and ₹928.50 in Chennai.This price stability for household cooking gas persists despite intense volatility in global energy markets. Tensions in West Asia, particularly threats to the Strait of Hormuz—a vital energy shipping corridor—have caused significant fluctuations in international LPG benchmarks.While domestic rates are unchanged, the commercial sector has faced substantial cost increases, with 19-kg cylinder prices jumping by over ₹900 last month before stabilising.To insulate households from these global price shocks, state-run firms like Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum are currently absorbing a portion of the losses on domestic LPG sales.Check LPG cylinder rates in your city todayLPG prices in India are usually revised at the start of every month, depending on changes in global crude oil prices, currency exchange rates, freight costs and government subsidy policies.Domestic cooking gas prices remain politically sensitive because of their direct impact on household budgets.
