The LPG Price December update has brought welcome relief for households across India. Starting December 7, domestic LPG gas cylinders have become cheaper, with prices dropping by ₹30 to ₹50 in most major cities. In a few states offering special schemes, eligible families can now get a cylinder for just ₹650, making this a significant benefit at a time when inflation has been affecting daily expenses.
Why LPG Prices Were Reduced This Month
The cut announced under the LPG Price December revision comes after months of rising operational and raw material costs. The government reviewed international crude prices, transportation expenses and local tax variations before deciding on a reduction. Officials say the aim is to ease the financial load on families, especially during winter when household consumption usually goes up.
New Cylinder Rates in Major Cities
The latest LPG Price December update has already taken effect in metro cities and large urban areas. A standard 14.2 kg domestic cylinder now costs between ₹850 and ₹890, depending on location. The exact amount varies slightly due to local taxes and transport charges.
Here is a quick look at the updated range:
| City Type | New Approx Price |
|---|---|
| Metro Cities | ₹850 to ₹890 |
| Smaller Cities | ₹780 to ₹860 |
| Select States Under Special Scheme | ₹650 |
Some state governments including Telangana, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh are offering additional support to eligible women beneficiaries under special schemes. In these states, the customer pays only ₹650, and the remaining subsidy is directly covered by the government.
How This Price Cut Helps Families
A steady rise in fuel and kitchen essentials has affected monthly budgets this year. The LPG Price December reduction offers immediate relief, especially to households that depend heavily on traditional cooking methods. With lower refill costs, families can plan their monthly spending better and avoid sudden financial strain.
Why Prices Differ Across States
Different GST rates and local taxes create price variations across India. While some states have lowered their taxes, others continue to maintain higher levies, which affects the final cylinder cost. Customers should always check the updated rate with their local distributor to get the most accurate price for their city.
As the LPG Price December revision continues to roll out nationwide, this reduction is expected to ease household expenses and offer much-needed support to millions of consumers.
