Indian Oil hikes 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder by ₹42 to ₹3,113.50
State-run fuel retailers typically move in lockstep, so the ₹42 hike on 19-kg commercial LPG to ₹3,113.50 will likely flow through to QSRs, hotels, restaurants and cloud kitchens nationwide. Margin pressure is immediate for food-service operators already absorbing volatile input costs.
Indian Oil hiked 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder price by ₹42 to ₹3,113.50, with other state-run fuel retailers likely to follow. Impacts input costs for QSRs, hotels, restaurants and food-service operators across India.
Why this matters
Comes as OMCs reportedly bleed Rs 30,000 cr/month on frozen pump prices versus $113 crude, signaling cost recovery is shifting onto commercial LPG users rather than retail auto fuel.
Retail-company signals steady at 1,497 over the last 90 days, with input-cost pass-through a recurring driver.
