LPG, CNG, PNG prices today, August 6: Check latest rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, other cities

LPG, CNG, PNG prices today: Concerns about the prices of LPG, CNG and PNG continue amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, even as rates for the three fuels have remained unchanged for more than a month. However, commercial LPG prices for establishments such as hotels and restaurants were cut by ₹192 per 19-kg cylinder over the weekend.

Indian Oil Corporation Chairman AS Sahney said there was an under-recovery of ₹503 on every 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder, as the current rate was well below cost. The pricing debate continues alongside pressure on domestic LPG rates.

The wider situation continues to remain tricky. US President Donald Trump said talks with Iran were under way, but Iran denied any negotiations were taking place. Reports suggest a proposed deal between Iran and Oman could give Iran control of incoming traffic at Hormuz. Iran has warned that any US attack would escalate its response.

Owing to such uncertainties, India plans to source up to a quarter of its liquefied petroleum gas imports from the United States by 2027. This would reduce dependence on the Middle East and avoid supply disruptions. It is also expected to support India's efforts to secure a trade deal with Washington.

India is the world's third-largest oil importer and consumer, sourcing about 90 per cent of its 21.85 million metric tonnes of LPG imports from the Middle East in 2025. Government data shows imports account for around 66 per cent of the country's LPG consumption. Earlier this year, the government diverted petrochemical feedstocks from industry to households using LPG as cooking fuel.

Meanwhile, LPG sales in India have fallen 17.4 per cent to 2.37 million tonnes. Industry officials attribute the decline mainly to a shift to piped natural gas following the West Asia crisis. LPG sales have been falling since the crisis began, leading to consumption restrictions in sectors such as hotels and restaurants. Although these curbs were lifted last month, July LPG consumption remained lower year on year.
