LPG Rate Today (August 8): Gas cylinder prices have become a matter of concern for everyone. If you are planning to book a domestic LPG cylinder today, there is good news: the price of the 14.2kg domestic gas cylinder remains unchanged today, Saturday, August 8. Customers will continue to get the cylinder at the existing price.
State-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) revise LPG cylinder prices on the first of every month. For August, the companies decided not to alter domestic gas cylinder prices. Consequently, millions of domestic customers will not face any additional costs for now.
How much has the price of commercial cylinders dropped?
While domestic cylinder prices remain unchanged, hotels, restaurants, and small business owners have received some relief. The price of the 19kg commercial LPG cylinder was slashed by ₹202 effective August 1. This marks the second consecutive month that commercial cylinder prices have decreased. It is essential to check the latest rates for your city before booking a cylinder. Please note that prices may vary slightly across states due to differences in taxes. Also, always book through authorized gas agencies or official apps.

Will gas cylinders become more expensive?
Recent reports suggest that a new levy (tax) on LPG cylinders is being considered, which could potentially increase the price of domestic gas cylinders by approximately ₹18. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has now clarified that the government has no plans to impose any new levy on LPG cylinders. Such media reports are completely baseless.
Earlier reports had claimed that, drawing lessons from the crisis in West Asia, the government was preparing to levy a charge on consumers to create a massive emergency fuel reserve worth ₹3.5 lakh crore ($42 billion) in the country.
