Commercial LPG hiked Rs 42-53.50; Delhi 19-kg cylinder now Rs 3,113.50
From June 1, oil marketers raised 19-kg commercial LPG prices nationwide, pushing the Delhi rate to Rs 3,113.50. The hike squeezes margins for QSR chains, hotels, cloud kitchens and food retailers dependent on commercial cylinders, with menu-price or pack-size adjustments likely if the increase sustains.
Commercial 19-kg LPG cylinder prices hiked Rs 42-53.50 nationwide from June 1, taking Delhi rate to Rs 3,113.5. Raises input costs for Indian QSR chains, hotels, restaurants and food retail relying on commercial LPG.
Why this matters
Marks the fifth commercial LPG hike in four months, following the prior Rs 42 Delhi and Rs 53.50 Kolkata revisions. Sustained input-cost pressure is building for QSR chains, hotels and cloud kitchens dependent on 19-kg cylinders.
