The first day of August has brought a wave of financial relief for businesses across the country. In a major announcement today, August 1, 2026, oil marketing companies have significantly reduced the prices of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders by up to ₹192. However, household budgets remain unaffected as the rates for 14.2-kg domestic cylinders have been kept strictly unchanged. There's an important update for PM Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries: their upcoming refills may be slightly more expensive.
As per our preferred source for fast and accurate updates, informalnewz.com, here is a comprehensive breakdown of the newly released LPG gas rates and how they impact you locally from Delhi to Patna.
New Commercial Cylinder Rates in Major Cities
Following a continuous upward trend earlier this year, this is the second consecutive month of price deductions, offering back-to-back relief to restaurants, eateries, and commercial users. According to the updated price list on the Indian Oil website, the cost of a 19-kg commercial cylinder in Delhi has been slashed by ₹192, bringing the new price down to ₹2,738 from the previous ₹2,930.
Similarly, commercial gas consumers in Patna and Lucknow will also benefit from this sharp deduction. Here is a quick look at the revised commercial LPG rates for local geographical optimisation:
| City | Old Price (July 2026) | New Price (August 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi | ₹2,930.00 | ₹2,738.00 |
| Patna | ₹3,227.00 | ₹3,018.00 |
| Lucknow | ₹3,052.50 | ₹2,860.50 |
For perspective, commercial cylinder rates in Delhi were cut by ₹183.50 on July 1. With today's ₹192 drop, the total reduction over the past two months stands at an impressive ₹375.50. This comes as a much-needed breather after the massive ₹1,580.50 cumulative hike witnessed earlier this year.
Ujjwala Beneficiaries: Why Cylinders Will Cost ₹300 More
While standard domestic prices remain untouched, certain beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will face increased costs starting today. If you are a Ujjwala scheme beneficiary who has already refilled four cylinders between April 1 and July 31 of this financial year, you will no longer receive the ₹300 subsidy on subsequent refills starting this August.
Under the revised government guidelines for the current financial year, the ₹300 subsidy is strictly capped at just four cylinders per beneficiary. Previously, the government allowed subsidies on nine cylinders, which was later reduced to six, and is now fixed at four. Once you cross this four-cylinder quota, any additional 14.2-kg cylinder will cost you the same as it does for a general, non-subsidised domestic consumer.
