LPG cylinder price cut: What has changed?
Under this cut, which will come into effect from September 1, 2025, the price of commercial cylinders has come down by ₹51.50. For example, a 19-kg cylinder in Delhi now costs ₹1,580. Domestic cylinder prices—₹853 (Delhi) etc—remain unchanged
Earlier, a reduction of ₹ 33.50 was made in August 2025 and ₹ 58.50 in July. In this way, there have been many cuts this year which are gradually cancelling the trend of making commercial cylinders expensive.
What relief did domestic customers get?
Although there was no reduction in the price of domestic cylinders, the government has announced special relief for Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries: A subsidy of up to ₹ 300 per cylinder will be given in this financial year (2025–26). Also, a budget of about ₹ 12,000 crore has been allocated for this subsidy, so that affordable energy can be made available to the economically weaker section.
Effects of price cut
Commercial sector (hotels, restaurants, grocery merchants): A reduction of up to ₹51.50 will reduce operating costs, giving them an opportunity to increase their profits or give discounts to consumers.
Domestic users: With the price of domestic cylinders remaining stable, expenses remain the same. But the subsidy received under the Ujjwala scheme will help low-income families save some income.
OMCs: Continuous price cuts and subsidies may increase the ‘under‑recovery’ of OMCs. Recently, the Central Government has approved financial assistance of ₹30,000 crore to the three public OMCs (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL) so that they can continue to provide affordable LPG.
