LPG, CNG, PNG prices today, May 9: Check rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, other major cities
As the West Asia conflict continues to rage on, fuel prices remain a key concern for households and transport users across India, with LPG, CNG and PNG rates seeing revisions at regular intervals amid global energy supply woes.
LPG supplies are under close monitoring amid prevailing geopolitical tensions, even though no dry-outs have been reported at distributorships. This is because India meets more than 40 per cent of its crude imports and 90 per cent of its LPG imports from West Asian countries, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The government, however, continues to offer subsidies under schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), helping reduce the effective cost for eligible households. Under the scheme, over 10 crore low-income families have received gas connections.
On May 1, prices of commercial 19-kg LPG cylinders were hiked by ₹993, taking the price of a commercial cylinder in Delhi to ₹3,071.50. Retail prices of domestic LPG cylinders are unchanged at present.
