LPG prices on 15 October: Domestic cylinder steady at ₹942 in Delhi, commercial at ₹2,810

Data last updated: 15 October 2026, 1:23 PM IST

Domestic cylinders unchanged

In Delhi, the domestic 14.2 kg cylinder is priced at ₹942.00. Mumbai’s listed rate is ₹941.50. No change to these figures has been indicated in the available city data for 15 October.

That matters because domestic LPG is one of the most regular, high-frequency household purchases outside rent, school fees and groceries. A flat price through the middle of the month reduces uncertainty for families planning refills, especially for homes that use LPG as the primary cooking fuel.

The gap between Delhi and Mumbai on the domestic cylinder is marginal, reflecting small differences in local cost components that typically include freight and other charges embedded in the final retail price. With no further city rates available in the material, a broader national comparison is not possible here.

For commercial users, the 19 kg cylinder in Delhi is listed at ₹2,810.00. In Mumbai, the commercial cylinder stands at ₹2,764.50.

The current level follows a ₹62.50 hike at the start of October for commercial LPG in Delhi, which is now reflected in the month’s going rate. Commercial cylinders are widely used by restaurants, catering units, small food manufacturers and other enterprises that need a steady fuel supply, so changes here tend to show up quickly in operating costs.

While households often purchase a refill every few weeks depending on family size and cooking patterns, many commercial users cycle through cylinders far more frequently. That difference in consumption makes even a modest per-cylinder increase material for small businesses, particularly those operating on tight margins.

With the domestic rate unchanged in the city figures provided, the contrast this month is clear: household prices are steady, while commercial buyers are absorbing an early-October increase.

What to watch next

LPG rates are typically revised over time, and the next update that would matter for consumers and businesses alike is any subsequent monthly revision to domestic or commercial prices. For now, the available numbers for 15 October show no movement in the domestic cylinder rate in Delhi and Mumbai, and commercial prices holding at the post-hike level.

Separately, LPG distribution and retail can be affected by dealer action. In a related development, LPG distributors in Bangladesh announced a two-day nationwide shutdown of LPG shops starting Thursday, tied to demands that include higher commissions and an end to alleged harassment by law enforcement agencies. The announcement was made by Selim Khan, president of the LPG Gas Traders Cooperative Association, at a press conference on 12 October in Dhaka. Dealers also warned of an indefinite shutdown if demands were not met by Friday. Said a commission was examining the issues and would take steps soon.

That action is outside India’s price-setting and supply system, but it is a reminder that the price printed on a rate card is only one part of what consumers experience. Availability at the local level, distributor margins, and last-mile retail conditions can all influence how smoothly refills happen.

For Indian consumers tracking LPG costs on 15 October, the immediate takeaway is straightforward: domestic cylinder prices in Delhi and Mumbai remain where they were, while commercial users are operating under the higher October baseline.
