LPG Price – Good news for restaurant owners, food stall vendors, and anyone using commercial LPG cylinders – LPG just got cheaper starting May 15, 2025. Oil companies across India have slashed the prices of the 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders, bringing some much-needed relief for businesses. But before you rush to celebrate, here’s the full picture.
So, What’s Behind the Price Drop?
Like every month, oil companies looked at global fuel prices and made their regular adjustments. This time around, international LPG prices went down a bit, and the Indian rupee got stronger against the dollar – double win! That helped bring down import costs, which led to this price cut. Plus, domestic demand and stock management also played a part.

Wait, What About the Regular Domestic Cylinders?
Hold up — this price cut doesn’t apply to household LPG cylinders. So, if you use the 14.2 kg domestic LPG at home, your price remains the same. The last update for that was back in March 2025, and nothing’s changed since.
Still, if you’re eligible under the PM Ujjwala Yojana, your subsidy will continue as usual.
Why Should You Care If You’re Not a Business?
Even if you’re not running a food joint, this commercial LPG price drop can still benefit you. How? Well:
- Your favourite street food might not get pricier anytime soon.
- Small eateries and caterers get some breathing room on their budgets.
- This could help keep food inflation under control — at least a little.
A Quick Look at Price Trends in 2025
Let’s see how Delhi’s 19 kg commercial cylinder price moved this year:
- January: ₹1,769.50
- February: ₹1,776.50 (+₹7)
- March: ₹1,754.00 (−₹22.50)
- April: ₹1,769.50 (+₹15.50)
- May: ₹1,748.50 (−₹21)
Looks like May brought back some relief after April’s increase!
Government’s Take on the Situation
While there’s no subsidy for commercial LPG, the government is still trying to keep fuel prices in check. They’re working on expanding Ujjwala Yojana, possibly reducing GST rates on LPG, and boosting local LPG production so we don’t rely too heavily on imports.
The May 15 price cut is definitely good news for the commercial sector — especially small businesses that run on tight margins. While household users didn’t get a cut this time, if trends continue, we might see a drop in the future too. Keep an eye out for updates!
