In Mumbai, the price is set at Rs 1,714.5, while Kolkata and Chennai will see prices of Rs 1,872 and Rs 1,924.50, respectively.

LPG For Economically Weaker Households

In a related development, the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) has seen a notable surge in LPG cylinder refills among economically weaker households. According to data presented in Parliament, the total number of PMUY connections stood at 10.33 crore as of March 1, 2025. The number of refill cylinders under the scheme has doubled over the past five years, with 41.95 crore refills delivered in the first 11 months of FY25, up from 39.38 crore in FY24.  

Furthermore, per capita consumption among PMUY beneficiaries has risen to nearly 4.5 cylinders annually, reflecting the growing impact of the scheme. In 2019-20, the number of refills was recorded at 22.80 crore, marking nearly a 100 per cent increase in the current fiscal year compared to five years ago, according to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
