LPG, CNG, PNG prices today (October 18): Check latest rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, other cities

LPG, CNG and PNG prices today: Domestic LPG cylinder prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on October 17, providing some relief to household consumers despite continued volatility in global energy markets.

However, commercial LPG prices remain higher following the October 1 revision, which increased operating costs for restaurants, hotels, eateries and other businesses that depend on cooking gas. In Delhi, a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder costs ₹942, while a 19-kg commercial cylinder is priced at ₹2,810.

CNG and piped natural gas (PNG) prices also remain an important consideration for households, commuters and businesses, with rates varying across cities depending on local taxes, input gas prices, transportation costs and distribution charges.

While domestic LPG rates have remained steady, fluctuations in international energy markets and ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to raise concerns about supply security and fuel costs. Any sustained increase in gas procurement costs could put pressure on city gas distributors and commercial consumers, although retail prices depend on local pricing decisions.
