| Patna | ₹1,002.50 | ₹2,133.50 |

Following the latest revision, a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi now costs Rs 2,078.50, as per state-run oil marketing companies. This comes after an earlier increase of ₹114.5 per cylinder implemented on March 1.
Domestic LPG Prices
In contrast, domestic LPG prices have been left unchanged this time. The last revision for household cylinders was on March 7, when rates were raised by Rs 60. A 14.2-kg domestic cylinder continues to retail at Rs 913 in Delhi.
Fuel retailers such as Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum revise LPG and ATF prices at the start of each month, based on global benchmarks and currency fluctuations.
The latest hike has been attributed to a sharp surge in global crude oil prices, which have risen by nearly 50% amid the escalating conflict in West Asia, disrupting supply chains.
Meanwhile, petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged since a Rs 2 per litre cut announced in March last year. In Delhi, petrol is currently priced at RS 94.72 per litre, while diesel costs Rs 87.62 per litre.
