Here we are in June, and once again, gas cylinder prices are making headlines. This time, there’s a bit of good news—if you run a hotel, small eatery, or some commercial place. Not so much if you’re just cooking meals at home.

Commercial LPG Cylinder Price Drops Again

Oil companies have decided to lower the price of commercial LPG cylinders weighing 19 kg by ₹24. It might not sound huge, but for small business owners, every rupee saved counts. Now, if you’re in Delhi, you’ll pay ₹1723.50 instead of ₹1747.50. Still expensive, but at least it’s going down.

City-wise Rate Reduction Offers Some Business Relief

This isn’t just in Delhi. There was also a decline in major cities like Bhubaneswar, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Mumbai. For the third consecutive month, prices have decreased, falling by ₹41 in April, ₹14.5 in May, and now ₹24 in June. For folks managing kitchens in cafes or canteens, this is a welcome break.

Third Straight Month of Price Cuts for Traders

Traders have been under pressure for a while, and even this small relief can help balance their daily costs. It’s not a game-changer, but it helps. Some say it might even reflect in menu prices, though most of us know that’s rare.

No Change in Domestic Cylinder Prices

Now, here comes the frustrating part—domestic LPG cylinders (14.2 kg) haven’t seen any price cut. They still cost ₹853, same as before. No relief for regular households.

Household Consumers Still Paying ₹853 per Cylinder

Since April 7, when the price went up by ₹50, there’s been no rollback. Many low-income families are still harmed by that hike.

Ujjwala Scheme Beneficiaries Face Higher Rates Too

Under the Ujjwala Yojana, beneficiaries are now paying ₹553 rather than ₹503. So, cheaper gas for the poor, not quite anymore.

Will Domestic LPG Prices Drop Soon?

Experts believe prices might come down—if crude oil prices remain stable globally. But as always, there’s no guarantee. Till then, people just have to manage the kitchen with what they’ve got.

Why LPG Prices Keep Fluctuating

There’s no one reason—global crude prices, transport costs, taxes, currency exchange, they all play a part. So, while traders breathe easier this month, families still carry the weight.
