Commercial LPG cylinder prices were raised from 1 Oct 2026, with the 19-kg cylinder in Delhi moving up ₹62.50 to ₹2,810, according to reports from NDTV Profit, Goodreturns and Navbharat Times. The revision increases the cooking-fuel bill for restaurants, highway eateries, caterers and other commercial users just before the festive season, while the domestic 14.2-kg cylinder price remains unchanged.
Key takeaways
- The reported increase applies to 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders from 1 Oct 2026.
- Delhi’s commercial cylinder is ₹2,810, up ₹62.50 from ₹2,747.50 in September.
- Goodreturns reported the largest increase among the cities it listed in Patna, where the cylinder rose ₹71.50 to ₹3,100.50.
- Delhi’s domestic 14.2-kg LPG price remains ₹942, so this specific revision does not raise the household cylinder rate.
- For a business using 10 Delhi-priced commercial refills in a month, the direct increase would be ₹625 before delivery, taxes or other operating costs.

What changed on 1 October
Oil marketing companies revised the price of the larger LPG cylinders used by commercial and industrial customers at the start of October. NDTV Profit reported a ₹62.50 increase in Delhi, taking the 19-kg cylinder from ₹2,747.50 in September to ₹2,810 on 1 Oct. Goodreturns also put the October increase across its listed markets in a range of ₹62.50 to ₹71.50 per cylinder.
| Market and cylinder | September 2026 | From 1 Oct 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi, commercial LPG (19 kg) | ₹2,747.50 | ₹2,810 | +₹62.50 |
| Patna, commercial LPG (19 kg) | ₹3,029 | ₹3,100.50 | +₹71.50 |
| Delhi, domestic LPG (14.2 kg) | ₹942 | ₹942 | No change |
All figures in the table are per cylinder and are as reported for 1 Oct 2026 by NDTV Profit and Goodreturns. City prices can differ because LPG rates are location-specific; the Delhi figures are also consistent with Navbharat Times’ report on the same revision.
Who is affected, and who is not
IndianOil’s LPG overview distinguishes the 19-kg, 47.5-kg and 425-kg sizes as commercial or industrial products, while the 14.2-kg cylinder is the familiar household format. In practical terms, the latest increase is relevant to restaurants, dhabas, hotels, bakeries, caterers, food stalls and other businesses that rely on larger cylinders for cooking or heating.
Households using a 14.2-kg cylinder are outside this particular price change. The reported Delhi domestic rate remains ₹942, while the corresponding commercial cylinder is ₹2,810. That is not a comparison of like-for-like products: the cylinders have different capacities and customer categories. It does, however, explain why a household may see no change even as a nearby eatery receives a higher LPG bill.
What the increase means in rupees
The extra ₹62.50 is modest on one Delhi refill, but it becomes a recurring operating cost when a kitchen uses several cylinders. Ten refills in a month would add ₹625. Thirty refills would add ₹1,875. These are simple illustrations using the reported Delhi increase, not an estimate of average consumption or a forecast of menu-price changes.
For a highway restaurant or catering operator, LPG is one input among ingredients, labour, rent, delivery and other costs. The cylinder increase does not automatically translate into a fixed rise in a meal or delivery charge. It does mean that businesses comparing September and October fuel invoices will see a higher cost per 19-kg refill, even if their vehicle fuel bill has not changed.
Why drivers should keep this separate from pump prices
This is a commercial cooking-fuel revision, not a change in petrol, diesel or CNG prices at vehicle pumps. Drivers checking their road-fuel budget can use FuelPrice’s live fuel prices to see the current city-wise position instead of treating the LPG headline as a pump-price update.
For a car or two-wheeler trip, the more relevant calculation is the fuel needed for the route. The fuel-cost calculator can estimate that vehicle expense separately from what a roadside business pays for commercial LPG.
Households should also keep the price revision separate from the LPG Aadhaar authentication change covered earlier. The October commercial-cylinder revision concerns the price paid by commercial users; the Aadhaar measure concerns access to the regulated domestic price and any applicable subsidy.
What to watch next
September also brought a ₹9.50 increase to Delhi’s 19-kg commercial cylinder, according to NDTV Profit and Navbharat Times. October is therefore the second consecutive monthly rise for the Delhi commercial cylinder. The sequence shows why businesses that refill regularly should check the dated rate rather than rely on a previous invoice.
The reports link the latest move to changing global energy-market conditions, but they do not provide a detailed public breakdown of the October amount between the LPG benchmark, freight, taxes and local charges. The useful near-term question is whether the next monthly revision continues the increase or reverses part of it. Until then, the verified position is the October rate and the unchanged domestic price—not a prediction about November.
Bottom line
From 1 Oct 2026, commercial LPG users pay more for 19-kg cylinders: Delhi’s rate is ₹2,810, an increase of ₹62.50, while the biggest rise in the reported city list is ₹71.50 in Patna. Household 14.2-kg LPG prices are unchanged. For FuelPrice readers, the practical takeaway is to separate kitchen-fuel costs for businesses and eateries from petrol, diesel and CNG costs for the vehicle itself.
