State fuel retailers' revenue loss on household LPG cylinders narrowed to ₹188 per 14.2-kg cylinder in August, down from ₹500 in July, junior oil minister Suresh Gopi told Parliament. Despite a ₹30,000 crore subsidy payment for 2025-26 and 2026-27, pending dues to oil companies exceeded ₹59,000 crore as of July 31. On August 1, oil marketing companies cut commercial LPG by about ₹200 per 19-kg cylinder across metros, the second reduction since the West Asia crisis, while hiking aviation turbine fuel by ₹5 per litre to ₹115. The five-kg free trade LPG cylinder also fell by ₹46. Domestic LPG price remained unchanged at ₹942 in Delhi.
