Commercial LPG Prices Cut by ₹209 per Cylinder in Kolkata
Kolkata sees a ₹209 reduction in commercial LPG cylinder prices, now at ₹2,872.50, providing relief to businesses.
The price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder in Kolkata has been reduced by ₹209, effective from Saturday, August 1, 2026. With this latest revision, the cost of a commercial LPG cylinder in the city now stands at ₹2,872.50. However, there has been no change in the prices of domestic LPG cylinders.
This price cut comes after the Union government took steps to restore industrial and commercial LPG supply to pre-crisis levels on June 25, 2026. The government had also withdrawn sector-specific allocation caps that were introduced during the peak of the West Asia crisis, citing an improvement in the global supply situation.
The reduction in commercial LPG prices is expected to bring relief to businesses, particularly restaurants, hotels, and other industries that rely heavily on LPG for their operations. Earlier this year, in May 2026, state-owned oil marketing companies had announced a sharp hike in commercial LPG cylinder prices, which had put additional financial pressure on businesses across the country.
While the latest revision is a positive development for commercial users, households using domestic LPG cylinders will not see any changes in their expenses for now. The stability in domestic LPG prices may provide some respite to consumers amid ongoing concerns about inflation and rising costs of essential commodities.
This move reflects the government's efforts to stabilize fuel prices and ensure adequate supply in the wake of global disruptions. Businesses in Kolkata and across India are likely to welcome the price cut, which could help ease operational costs and boost economic activity in the coming months.
