New Delhi, March 7 — Domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices were raised by ₹60 per cylinder on Saturday, pushing the cost of a standard 14.2-kg non-subsidised household cylinder in Delhi to ₹913, according to updated data released by the Indian Oil Corporation.
The revised prices took effect on March 7 and apply to most households that purchase non-subsidised cylinders outside the government’s welfare schemes.
According to the company’s website, the new LPG prices in major metros are ₹913 in Delhi, ₹939 in Kolkata, ₹912.50 in Mumbai and ₹928.50 in Chennai.
The increase comes amid turbulence in global energy markets linked to escalating tensions involving Iran and Western allies, which has raised concerns over oil and gas supply routes.
Energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Qatar has reportedly come under attack as part of Iran’s retaliation in the wider conflict involving the United States and European partners.
Compounding the uncertainty, Iran has restricted marine shipments through the Strait of Hormuz to vessels, a move that could affect one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. The waterway handles roughly one-fifth of global oil shipments.
Market analysts say the tightening supply outlook and volatility in crude markets have begun to feed into domestic fuel prices.
Despite the United States allowing India to continue purchasing energy supplies from Russia, the global energy shock has pushed up costs across the supply chain.
Domestic LPG prices are periodically revised by India’s oil marketing companies based on international energy prices and currency movements.
