LPG, CNG, PNG prices today: Check rates in major Indian cities
Fuel prices update across Indian cities as West Asia tensions influence imports; LPG, CNG and PNG rates show shifts, with PMUY subsidies easing household costs.
As the West Asia conflict continues to rage on, fuel prices remain a key concern for households and transport users across India, with LPG, CNG and PNG rates seeing revisions at regular intervals amid global energy supply woes. LPG supplies are under close monitoring amid prevailing geopolitical tensions, even though no dry-outs have been reported at distributorships. This is because India meets more than 40 per cent of its crude imports and 90 per cent of its LPG imports from West Asian countries, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), subsidies help keep costs lower for eligible households. Over 10 crore low-income families have received gas connections. On May 1, prices of commercial 19kg LPG cylinders were hiked by ₹993, taking the price of a commercial cylinder in Delhi to ₹3,071.50. Retail prices of domestic LPG cylinders are unchanged at present. 14.2 kg LPG cylinder rates on May 9: Delhi ₹913, Bengaluru ₹915.50, Hyderabad ₹965, Mumbai ₹912.50, Chennai ₹928.50, Kolkata ₹939. Commercial (19kg) LPG cylinder rates on March 21: Delhi ₹3,071.50, Bengaluru ₹3,152, Hyderabad ₹3,315, Mumbai ₹3,024, Chennai ₹3,237, Kolkata ₹3,202. CNG prices across major cities on March 21: Delhi ₹77.09, Bengaluru ₹90, Hyderabad ₹97, Mumbai ₹81, Chennai ₹91.50, Kolkata ₹93.50. PNG prices across major cities on March 21: Delhi ₹47.90/SCM, Bengaluru ₹52, Hyderabad ₹51, Mumbai ₹50, Chennai ₹50, Kolkata ₹50. While LPG remains the primary cooking fuel for many households, CNG and PNG are emerging as more stable and economic alternatives.
