The latest revision comes nearly three months after a previous hike of INR 60 per cylinder on March 7. State-owned fuel retailers say the increase is necessary to partially offset mounting losses amid elevated global energy costs and volatility in crude oil markets.

Why Have LPG Prices Increased?
The latest LPG price hike comes amid disruptions in global energy markets linked to tensions in West Asia and shipping concerns around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route through which nearly one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas exports pass.
Brent crude oil prices have remained elevated at around USD 100 per barrel, increasing input costs for state-owned fuel retailers such as Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL).

Oil Companies Still Facing Heavy Losses
According to industry sources, the March price increase only partially compensated oil marketing companies for losses incurred on domestic LPG sales.
Before the latest revision, state-run fuel retailers were estimated to be losing around INR 703 on every domestic LPG cylinder sold. Even after the recent increase, under-recoveries remain significant.
Petrol, Diesel and CNG Prices Also Rise
The LPG price hike follows a broader increase in fuel prices across the country. Since mid-May, petrol and diesel prices have risen by a cumulative INR 7.50 per litre, while compressed natural gas (CNG) rates have increased by nearly INR 6 per kg.
Industry sources say oil companies continue to incur losses of approximately INR 11 per litre on petrol and INR 33.6 per litre on diesel despite the recent hikes.
Government Says LPG Under-Recovery Remains High
Speaking at an inter-ministerial briefing, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said the government has taken several measures to ensure adequate LPG supplies through increased domestic production and imports.
"As far as the under recovery on LPG domestic cooking cylinder is concerned, it is still in the range of almost 700 rupees," Sharma said.
She also attributed the moderation in LPG demand to lower commercial and industrial consumption, improved booking cycles and the implementation of Delivery Authentication Code (DAC)-linked deliveries.
What Consumers Should Know
With the latest INR 29 increase, households across most major cities will now pay more for domestic cooking gas. The revision reflects continuing pressure on oil marketing companies from high global energy prices and rising import costs, while the government seeks to balance consumer interests with mounting fuel subsidies.
