LPG Cylinder Gas Price Today: As India continues to feel the ripple effects of the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran, long queues outside domestic LPG outlets and petrol pumps are being reported amid panic buying across the country over a perceived paucity of fuel even as the government assured no shortage of cooking fuel, with LPG supplies fully protected and consumer prices shielded from global volatility.
Domestic LPG cylinder records notable price hike
Domestic LPG cylinder prices have seen a notable hike in March, with the 14.2 kg cylinder price in the national capital rising to Rs 913.00. The latest revision marks an increase from last month’s price of Rs 853.00, reflecting a rise of Rs 60. The increase comes amid escalating global energy uncertainty and logistical challenges in global shipping routes.
Govt assures no shortage of energy supply
Union petroleum minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday informed the Lok Sabha that the government’s foremost priority is ensuring the kitchens of Indian families face no shortage of cooking fuel, with LPG supplies fully protected and consumer prices shielded from global volatility.
“Crude supply is flowing and LPG production has been stepped up,” Puri said, urging citizens to ignore “rumour-mongering and fake narratives” and stand “united behind the national interest across political affiliations.”
Commercial LPG temporarily regulated to curb hoarding, black marketing
Puri, however, said commercial LPG has been temporarily regulated to prevent hoarding and black marketing, clarifying that the restrictions are not aimed at penalising the hospitality sector but at preventing diversion in a supply-constrained environment. As commercial cylinders are normally sold in a fully deregulated market without subsidy or booking controls, the government has introduced calibrated allocations to ensure genuine users get supplies. A committee of oil marketing companies has been tasked with assessing demand across sectors and regions.
With cooking fuel emerging as the government’s top priority, refineries have been directed to maximise LPG output, raising production by 28 per cent in the past five days. “Imports have also been diversified, with additional cargoes sourced from the United States, Norway, Canada, Algeria and Russia.”

Why LPG is more vulnerable?
What increases the vulnerability with LPG is that unlike crude oil, India holds no meaningful strategic LPG reserves and storage capacity is limited. Stocks held by refiners and distributors could meet demand for only two to three weeks if imports are disrupted.
