LPG Price Reduction from November 1, 2025

In a significant development for businesses and commercial establishments, the prices of commercial LPG cylinders have been reduced across major Indian metros starting November 1, 2025. This revision comes as part of the government’s monthly review of fuel prices. While commercial users enjoy relief of up to ₹6.5 per cylinder, domestic LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged, continuing the steady freeze since April 2025. Meanwhile, Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) or jet fuel prices have witnessed a modest hike of nearly 1%, slightly impacting the aviation sector’s operating costs.

🔍 Analysis — Why the Price Change?

The revision in LPG and ATF prices is part of the monthly price adjustment mechanism followed by India’s state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) — Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL).
This month’s reduction in commercial LPG prices is attributed to:

• Slight correction in international LPG prices due to higher global supply.

• Stable rupee against the dollar, helping ease import costs.

• Balanced demand outlook post-festive season from hotels, restaurants, and small industries.

On the other hand, the 1% increase in ATF prices reflects the rise in global crude oil rates, which have rebounded slightly after recent OPEC+ output adjustments.

🏠 Domestic LPG — No Change Yet

While commercial users have benefitted, the 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder price remains unchanged for the seventh consecutive month.

• In Delhi, domestic LPG stands at ₹803.

• In Mumbai, ₹802.50.

• In Kolkata, ₹829.

• In Chennai, ₹818.50.

This indicates that the government is maintaining price stability for household consumers, especially ahead of the winter season when fuel consumption generally rises.

✈️ Jet Fuel (ATF) Prices Up Slightly

The ATF price, which directly affects airline operational costs, has risen by about 1% in November.

• New Delhi: ₹104,410.92 per kilolitre (up from ₹103,635.48)

• Mumbai: ₹98,200.35 per kilolitre

• Chennai: ₹108,220.30 per kilolitre

• Kolkata: ₹109,150.70 per kilolitre

This small hike may slightly influence airfares if global oil prices continue to firm up in the coming weeks.

🏭 Impact Across Sectors

• Hospitality Industry: Restaurants, catering services, and small eateries will see marginal cost savings, offering short-term operational relief.

• Small Businesses: Bakeries, food manufacturers, and hotels using commercial LPG cylinders will experience reduced input costs.

• Aviation Sector: Airlines may absorb the 1% ATF hike in the short term, though sustained increases could push fares up slightly.

• Consumers: Domestic households continue to await a price cut, but the government’s unchanged rates provide predictability amid global volatility.

💬 Expert Opinions

Energy analysts note that India’s energy pricing remains sensitive to global crude trends and domestic inflation control policies.

“The reduction in commercial LPG rates is a positive signal for the service industry. However, given the volatility in crude markets, this trend may not sustain if OPEC+ tightens supply further,” said an energy economist from BusinessLine.

Another expert told The Economic Times,

“The steady domestic cylinder price freeze since April reflects the government’s intention to shield households from inflationary pressure, especially with elections on the horizon.”

📈 International Context

Interestingly, similar trends are visible globally:

• Pakistan’s OGRA also announced a Rs 5.88 per kg cut in LPG prices for November 2025.

• The international benchmark LPG prices declined slightly due to mild winter forecasts and easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

🔮 Outlook Ahead

If crude oil prices remain stable and the rupee continues to strengthen, further minor reductions in commercial LPG rates could be expected in the December revision. However, domestic LPG users may have to wait longer for relief, as the government prioritizes subsidy management and fiscal stability.

📌 Conclusion

From November 1, 2025, commercial LPG users across India are paying ₹4.5 to ₹6.5 less per cylinder, while domestic consumers see no change in their monthly budget. The aviation sector, however, faces a slight increase in ATF costs.
This dual movement highlights the government’s ongoing balancing act — easing costs for businesses while maintaining price stability for households amid fluctuating global fuel markets.
