Domestic LPG prices in Delhi rose by ₹29 per 14.2-kg cylinder effective June 7, 2024 [1].
This increase places additional financial pressure on households as the cost of essential cooking fuel climbs amid volatile global energy markets.
Industry sources said the new price for a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi is ₹942 [1]. This follows a previous price of ₹913 [1]. The adjustment represents the second price hike within a three-month period [2].
Rising global energy costs have driven the recent price volatility [2]. The cost of liquefied petroleum gas is often tied to international benchmarks, meaning geopolitical tensions or supply disruptions can lead to rapid price shifts for consumers in India.
Officials said they have not provided a specific timeline for when prices might stabilize. However, the trend of increasing costs reflects a broader struggle to manage energy imports during periods of international instability.

The frequent adjustment of LPG prices suggests that the Indian government or distributors are passing international energy cost spikes directly to the consumer. Because cooking gas is a primary household utility, these repeated hikes can contribute to domestic inflation and reduce the disposable income of urban residents in Delhi.
