Why Did LPG Cylinder Prices Drop?
LPG prices are revised monthly by India’s state-run Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). The changes are influenced by:
- Global crude oil prices → As LPG is derived from crude oil, falling crude prices reduce LPG costs.
- Exchange rate fluctuations → A stronger rupee reduces import costs.
- Seasonal demand → Festivals and winter seasons often see higher demand, impacting prices.
- Government policies → Domestic LPG cylinders sometimes receive subsidies, but commercial LPG remains market-linked.
This month’s reduction is mainly due to falling international crude oil prices and stable exchange rates.
Trend of LPG Price Reductions in 2025
Commercial LPG prices have been reduced multiple times this year:
- September 2025 → -₹51.50
- August 2025 → -₹35.50
- July 2025 → -₹24
- June 2025 → -₹30
- May 2025 → -₹19
This steady decline has provided huge relief to hotels, dhabas, caterers, and food businesses, where LPG accounts for a large share of operating expenses.
Impact on Consumers & Businesses

Why No Reduction in Domestic LPG Prices?

- Businesses should expect stable to lower commercial LPG prices till year-end.
Practical Tips for Consumers
