LPG Price Today (April 13): Following attacks by the US and Israel in Iran during the month of February, the Indian government raised the rates for both domestic and commercial LPG cylinders. In fact, tensions in the Middle East—specifically Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—have disrupted fuel supplies, causing turmoil in global energy markets, as this strait serves as a critical route for energy shipments.

Since India imports approximately 60% of its Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and half of its natural gas requirements—with West Asian nations supplying a significant portion of these fuels—these disruptions have made the resulting pressure both real and immediately palpable.

The Government's Stance on LPG Supply

As of today, April 13, the prices of 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinders remain stable across major cities in the country. Following a hike of ₹60 in March, no further changes were made to the rates in April. The government asserts that, despite a massive surge in global LPG rates driven by the conflict in Iran and supply disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz, domestic consumers are being shielded from the shocks of international price fluctuations.

The government has stated that the availability of cooking gas remains consistent. On average, more than 5 million (50 lakh) cylinders are being delivered daily. Furthermore, specific measures have been implemented, including the sale of over 320,000 (3.2 lakh) 5 kg 'Free Trade LPG' cylinders to migrant workers.
