The month of April 2025 has brought some relief to consumers as oil marketing companies announced a cut in commercial LPG cylinder prices. While commercial users benefit from this reduction, domestic LPG prices remain unchanged, offering continued relief to household consumers.
Commercial LPG Cylinder Prices Reduced
Starting April 1, 2025, the price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has been reduced by ₹41. The updated prices in major cities are:
- Delhi: ₹1,762 (down from ₹1,803)
- Mumbai: ₹1,713.50
- Kolkata: ₹1,868.50
- Chennai: ₹1,921.50
This price cut is a big relief for hotels, restaurants, and small businesses that depend on LPG for daily operations. Lower gas prices will help reduce their expenses and potentially offer better services to customers.
Domestic LPG Cylinder Prices Unchanged
There is no change in the price of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinders. In Delhi, the price remains at ₹803. This stability is welcomed by households, as it helps manage their monthly budget without worrying about price hikes. Domestic LPG prices may differ slightly across states due to local taxes and transport costs.
Impact on Inflation and Daily Expenses
The price reduction in commercial cylinders will help businesses cut down operational costs, which could help reduce the prices of food and services. Meanwhile, the unchanged domestic LPG rates continue to support families against inflation. Both changes are seen as positive steps in controlling day-to-day living costs.
Why the Prices Changed
LPG prices are revised on the first of every month based on factors such as global crude oil rates and foreign exchange values. The reduction in April is mainly due to a drop in crude oil prices in international markets, making it possible for oil marketing companies to pass on the benefit to consumers.
Looking Ahead
This month’s price update has brought comfort to both commercial and domestic LPG users. Future prices will depend on global oil trends and economic factors. The government and oil companies continue to monitor the situation to ensure consumers are not burdened.
Conclusion
The LPG price changes in April 2025 have brought welcome relief. Businesses benefit from lower commercial cylinder costs, and households are relieved with no change in domestic LPG prices. This balanced move supports both the economy and the daily lives of people across India.
