Commercial cooking gas (LPG) prices were slashed by Rs 39.50 per 19-kg cylinder on Friday (December 22), which is in line with softening international benchmarks. However, the prices of domestic (14 kg) LPG cylinders, which are used in households for cooking purposes, remained stagnant and unchanged at Rs 903 per 14.2-kg cylinder.

Latest prices in various cities

The commercial LPG, which are used in various places like hotels and restaurants, will now cost Rs 1,757 per 19-kg cylinder in the national capital as against Rs 1,796.50, oil firms said in a price notification. The prices of the commercial LPG were last hiked by state-owned oil firms by Rs 21 on December 1.

Commercial LPG will now cost Rs 1,710 per 19-kg cylinder in Mumbai, Rs 1,868.50 in Kolkata, and Rs 1,929 in Chennai.

Rates differ from state to state based on incidence of local taxation.

Saudi contract softens price

Saudi contract price (CP), the benchmark used for pricing of LPG, has softened in the last few weeks' oversupply concerns.

State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) revise cooking gas and ATF prices on the 1st of every month, based on the average international price in the previous month.

The revision on Friday is an outlier. Petrol and diesel prices continued to remain on freeze for a record 21st month in a row.

Petrol costs Rs 96.72 per litre in the national capital, and diesel comes for Rs 89.62 per litre.
