Hit by severe inflation

These factors are bearing the brunt of severe inflation. According to sources, oil companies have increased the price of a 5-kg LPG cylinder by Rs 261. Which is considered a significant increase. Due to this hike, the price of a 5 kg LPG cylinder has directly gone up to Rs 810 from Rs 549. The price of this cylinder was increased just last month i.e. April 2026. At that time the price of the cylinder was increased by Rs.51. Now, after this latest hike, the working class, migrant workers and students are going to be hit very hard. This group, which usually focuses on frugality and saving money, will now have to shell out much more for expenses than before. The prices of commercial cylinders have also gone up.

Prices of commercial cylinders also increased

Apart from 5-kg cylinders, prices of 19-kg commercial cylinders have also gone up, reports ANI. This increase is Rs.993. After this hike, the price of a commercial cylinder in Delhi has crossed the Rs 3,000 mark. This means that the bills of restaurants, hotels and street food vendors will now go up. Moreover, food and catering expenses at weddings and social events will also increase. Prices of food ordered online may also be more expensive.

There is no change in cooking gas rates

Meanwhile, there has been no change in cooking gas rates. To the relief of 33 crore consumers, oil companies have kept gas prices steady. Cooking gas rates were last hiked earlier this year, on March 7. Currently, the price of cooking gas is ₹913 in Delhi, ₹912.50 in Mumbai, ₹928.50 in Chennai and ₹939 per cylinder in Kolkata.

Why have gas prices gone up?

The conflict in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas supplies. In addition, the US has imposed a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, which has cut gas supplies from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Although India imports oil and gas from African nations, America and other regions, the overall cost has increased. The effect of these rising costs is now reflected in retail sales rates. As a result, commercial gas rates are witnessing a steep rise.
