Domestic and commercial LPG prices in India have increased sharply amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which have disrupted global energy supply chains and pushed up fuel costs. The uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy transit route, has tightened supply and triggered volatility in LPG prices in India.
Key Highlights
- LPG prices in India rise across India as Strait of Hormuz disruptions trigger supply shortages and volatility.
- Commercial LPG rates surge sharply while domestic cylinder prices remain steady after March hike.
The recent surge in LPG prices in India follows supply disruptions caused by the conflict, impacting India significantly as it imports nearly 60% of its LPG requirements, with a large share routed through West Asia. Reports indicate that disruptions in this key corridor have led to supply shortages and increased costs, especially for import-dependent nations like India.
Despite the crisis, the governments of the United States and Iran have agreed to a temporary two-week ceasefire, raising hopes of easing global energy market volatility. Meanwhile, the Indian government has assured that LPG, petrol, and diesel supplies remain stable, with multiple vessels successfully navigating the Strait of Hormuz to maintain supply continuity.

These prices reflect the broader trend of rising fuel costs across major cities due to global supply disruptions and fluctuating crude oil prices.

Booking interval restrictions- 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas- continue to be enforced to ensure equitable distribution and prevent hoarding.
