Mixed Energy Price Changes in 2026
On January 1, 2026, there were changes in the prices of energy sources in India.
Commercial LPG prices for 19-kg cylinders increased by ₹111 across major cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai.
This increase will affect businesses like hotels and restaurants.
On the other hand, the price of domestic PNG (Piped Natural Gas) in Delhi and nearby areas decreased by ₹0.70 per SCM.
