Commercial LPG cylinder prices increased by ₹65 per 19-kg cylinder on October 1, 2026, marking the second consecutive monthly rise. This latest hike comes just before the festive season and follows a previous increase in September. Together, these revisions have raised the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder by around ₹75 per refill since September.
The price adjustment directly impacts restaurants, hotels, catering businesses, and other commercial establishments that depend on LPG for cooking or operations. This may lead to higher fuel and overall operating costs during a period of increased festive activity.
Simultaneously, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices increased by about ₹16 per litre, rising from ₹121 to ₹137 per litre. This change will raise fuel expenses for airlines and other sectors relying on ATF, potentially affecting their cost structures.
Combined, the higher commercial LPG and ATF prices represent significant energy cost revisions. Businesses in the affected sectors are prompted to monitor the impact on their expenses and pricing strategies.
