In the capital, the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder is now available at ₹1,580, down from ₹1,631 in August—a reduction of ₹51.
Domestic users remain unaffected, with the 14.2 kg cylinder continuing at ₹853.
This reduction primarily benefits restaurants, hotels, and wedding caterers who rely on commercial cylinders.
2. How Other Cities Are Faring
Commercial LPG prices have decreased in major metro cities as well:
Mumbai: Now ₹1,531.50, down from ₹1,582.50 in august and ₹1,616 in July.
Kolkata: Reduced to ₹1,684, previously ₹1,734 in august and ₹1,769 in July.
Chennai: Price stands at ₹1,738, down from ₹1,789 in august and ₹1,823.50 in July.
These reductions offer consistent relief to commercial users who rely heavily on LPG for their operations.
3. A Quick Look Back: august Price Change
The trend of easing prices started in August:
Delhi: Commercial cylinder reduced by ₹33.50 to ₹1,631.50
Kolkata: Price cut by ₹35 to ₹1,734
Mumbai: Reduced by ₹33.50 to ₹1,582.50
Chennai: Price lowered to ₹1,789
This shows a steady downward adjustment in commercial LPG rates over the past two months.
4. Domestic LPG Prices Remain Steady
For households, there is no change in domestic LPG prices. The last revision occurred on April 8, 2025, when prices increased by ₹50 in delhi, bringing the 14.2 kg cylinder to ₹853.
Earlier, on August 30, 2023, a significant cut of ₹200 was made to domestic cylinders. Since then, prices have remained largely stable, with the government keeping domestic LPG rates separate from commercial adjustments.
5. Why Commercial Prices Fluctuate More
Commercial LPG is priced based on global crude oil trends, supply-demand dynamics, and operational costs. Because businesses consume LPG in larger volumes, even a modest price reduction, like ₹50, can translate into substantial monthly savings.
Domestic LPG, however, is subsidized and tightly regulated, so its price changes are infrequent and typically smaller than commercial adjustments.
6. What Users Should Know
The price cut applies from september 1, 2025, and will be reflected in purchases at authorized distributors.
Commercial users, such as catering services, hotels, and restaurants, can plan their monthly budgets based on the reduced rates.
Domestic users should continue to monitor for any official updates but currently have no changes.
7. The Takeaway
The September 2025 commercial LPG price cut provides welcome relief for businesses that rely heavily on gas cylinders. While domestic consumers remain on the same rate, the government’s careful balancing of commercial and domestic pricing ensures affordable access for homes while supporting business sustainability.
As prices continue to fluctuate with market trends, both commercial and domestic consumers are advised to stay informed and check with authorized distributors for the latest updates.
