No revision in LPG prices after March 7 increase
LPG prices are usually revised once a month, unlike gasoline and diesel which change daily. The domestic LPG price in Delhi was increased by Rs 60 to Rs 913 earlier this month after a gap of nearly a year. Commercial cylinders also saw a sharp rise above ₹100
The revision was driven by rising import costs due to global supply concerns and tensions, particularly in key energy-exporting regions.
Government Announces LPG Relaxation for Food and Accommodation Sector
In a move aimed at relieving pressure on the food and accommodation sector, the government on Saturday approved an additional 20% allocation of commercial LPG cylinders, bringing total supply to around 50% of pre-conflict levels. The move comes as businesses continue to grapple with supply disruptions triggered by geopolitical tensions.
According to the oil ministry, the increased allocation will be directed to key sectors such as restaurants, roadside eateries, hotels, industrial kitchens, food processing units, dairy establishments, subsidized canteens and state-run community kitchens. Authorities also plan to expand the availability of smaller 5kg cylinders, especially for migrant workers. The revised allocation will come into force from Monday.
Requirements to receive additional offers
To access the additional quota, commercial users will need to register with oil marketing companies and provide detailed information on how LPG is used. They will also need to sign up for piped natural gas connections to benefit from the increased supply.

Industry estimates show the shortage is having a significant impact, with almost a third of hotels and restaurants being forced to temporarily cease operations, while others are reducing opening hours and reducing menu offerings. The government has acknowledged that supply remains tight, but recent measurements show supply is gradually improving.
India is heavily dependent on imports for its LPG demand, largely from West Asia. To manage the disruptions, authorities are diversifying supplies by sourcing from countries such as the United States, Russia, Japan and Norway, while also pushing for faster adoption of piped gas infrastructure.
