State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) have announced a lessening in the prices of commercial LPG cylinders. Effective today, the prices of 19-kg LPG cylinders used for commercial purposes have been lowered. Delhi residents will now pay Rs 1,773 for a commercial LPG cylinder, down from the previous price of Rs 1,856.50. Similarly, in Mumbai, the price has been revised to Rs 1,725, while Kolkata residents will be charged Rs 1,875.50, and Chennai residents will need to pay Rs 1,937. These revised rates will be applicable for the month of June, with monthly revisions scheduled for the first day of each month.

It is worth noting that in May, commercial LPG cylinder prices were reduced by Rs 171.50, while the prices of domestic cylinders remained unchanged. The rates for commercial cylinders were also slashed in April by Rs 91.50 per unit, resulting in a revised price of Rs 2,028.

In contrast, the prices of domestic cooking gas cylinders have not been altered and currently stand at Rs 1,003 in Delhi, Rs 1,029 in Kolkata, Rs 1,002.5 in Mumbai, and Rs 1,018.5 in Chennai.
