LPG Cylinder price from 1st April: The government has taken a strong and clear stand on the rumors of a nationwide lockdown due to the war between Iran-Israel and America. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri stressed that speculations about a nationwide lockdown are completely baseless. He emphasized that the government is not considering any such proposal and there is no need for the public to panic.
India is fully prepared
The government has also said that despite the current global situation, there is no shortage of fuel or essential goods in the country. According to the ministry, India has adequate reserves of oil and gas and supplies for the next 60 days have already been secured. Apart from this, India now imports crude oil from more than 41 countries, due to which the impact of any blockage in the Strait of Hormuz has been reduced to a great extent. However, despite this assurance from the government, there are long queues in front of gas agencies due to panic buying.
Oil companies also increased preparations
Here, oil companies have also increased their preparations. Petrol pump owners are now getting more credit than before to ensure that there is no shortage of petrol and diesel under any circumstances. The government says that India is also an exporter of petroleum products, hence there is no need for any ‘national energy emergency’ at this time. Now the biggest question is whether the prices of LPG cylinders are going to increase from April 1 or there will be some relief in the prices?
Looking at the current situation, there is very little hope for relief. Due to the Iran-Israel war, the prices of crude oil and gas remain high. Fuel prices have already increased in many countries of the world, so it should not be surprising if LPG consumers face a shock on April 1, 2026.
Possibility of change in prices
Oil marketing companies (OMCs) review gas prices on the 1st of every month. Amidst the ongoing tension in the Middle East and the global oil crisis, the prices of crude oil and gas remain on the rise. In such a situation, there is a possibility of price increase from April 1.
An increase of Rs 60 was seen in domestic cylinder prices in March 2026. Now its price is around Rs 853. At the same time, in March, the price of commercial cylinder has reached Rs 1768.50 in Delhi. Whether there will be relief next month or prices will increase will depend on the situation in the international energy market. Along with LPG, there is a possibility of change in the prices of CNG and PNG from April 1.
