LPG, CNG, PNG prices today, July 29: Check latest rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, other cities

LPG, CNG, PNG prices today: Concerns about LPG, CNG and PNG prices continue to persist even though rates for all three fuels have remained unchanged for over a month. The worries have increased amid the US-Iran conflict, as vessel crossings along key shipping routes have dropped sharply due to worsening regional security and recent military actions involving the United States and Iran.

But, in order to reduce dependence on the Middle East and avoid supply disruptions, India is planning to source up to a quarter of its liquefied petroleum gas imports from the United States by 2027. According to three sources cited by Reuters, this move is also expected to support New Delhi's efforts to secure a trade deal with Washington.

India's decision to diversify LPG sourcing follows its worst LPG shortage earlier this year, caused by the Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which disrupted supplies. The government took emergency measures to divert petrochemical feedstocks from industry to households, which use LPG as cooking fuel.

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. Imports accounted for around 66 per cent of the country's LPG consumption, according to government data.

Ship traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb strait has fallen, while transit through the Strait of Hormuz remains low. The decline followed attacks by Yemeni Houthis on Saudi oil installations along the Red Sea coast, despite a pause in strikes between the United States and Iran.

A senior Iranian official said Iran would stop its own attacks as long as the United States did the same. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Tehran's position remained, "attack for attack: if the attacks stop, Iran will also halt its operations. That message has already been conveyed to the United States."

After 13 nights of intensifying US air strikes on Iran, the Pentagon suspended the campaign late on Friday. The pause came after advisers to former President Donald Trump told him they were running out of targets and raised concerns about depleting the US arsenal.
