Commercial LPG prices hiked third consecutive month, Rs 10 up in Delhi
The Story in Brief
Oil marketing companies raised the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder on 1 November, the third straight monthly increase. In Delhi the cylinder now costs Rs 2,820, up Rs 10 from October, while Kolkata saw the sharpest rise of Rs 17 to Rs 2,971. Mumbai and Chennai recorded increases of Rs 10.50 and Rs 11.50 respectively, taking their prices to Rs 2,775 and Rs 2,994.50.
Since August, the cumulative increase in Delhi stands at Rs 82, in Kolkata at Rs 98.50, in Mumbai at Rs 83.50 and in Chennai at Rs 88.50, according to Indian Oil Corporation data cited by Prabhat Khabar. Bhaskar.com reports a smaller national rise of Rs 9.50 and says commercial cylinder prices in Jaipur have reached Rs 2,847. Domestic 14.2-kg LPG cylinders remain unchanged, with prices last revised in June.
Update, 1 November 2026: Bhaskar.com now also reports the 1 November commercial LPG price hike, putting the increase at Rs 9.50 nationally and giving the Jaipur rate of Rs 2,847. It notes this is the seventh price rise in 2026. Prabhat Khabar's earlier report gave Rs 10 to 17 rises in metros and cumulative figures since August.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Prabhat Khabar and Bhaskar.com both report the 1 November commercial LPG hike but frame it differently on price and context. Prabhat Khabar leads with metro-city figures showing a Rs 10 to 17 rise and highlights the third consecutive monthly increase since August. Bhaskar.com reports a lower Rs 9.50 hike nationally, gives the Jaipur rate, and notes this is the seventh price rise in 2026, adding a broader annual context that Prabhat Khabar omits. Both are neutral-report in tone. The differences are in the chosen data points: one emphasises the recent trend, the other the year-long frequency.
