What did govt say on LPG price cut?
In July 2026, the Central government had said that domestic LPG cylinders carried an implicit subsidy of more than Rs 700 per 14.2 kg cylinder in June this year despite a sharp rise in international LPG prices triggered by the West Asia crisis, helping keep retail prices affordable for consumers.
Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, had said that the Retail Selling Price of domestic LPG is being maintained at Rs. 942 per 14.2 Kg cylinder, carrying an implicit subsidy (under-recovery) of more than Rs 700 per 14.2 Kg cylinder, in June 2026.
He added that even for the month of July 2026, the implicit subsidy on each 14.2 Kg domestic LPG cylinder is more than Rs 500 per cylinder. He stated that the global LPG prices surged after the West Asia conflict started, with the average Saudi Contract Price (Saudi CP), the international benchmark for LPG pricing, rising to USD 780 per metric tonne in April and May 2026 and further to USD 796 per metric tonne in June.
The Petroleum and Natural Gas ministry stated that at these international prices, the market-determined price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder would have reached Rs 1,695 in June.
