Restaurants, hotels, and catering units that depend on LPG will benefit slightly from this cut. Domestic LPG rates remain unchanged. Earlier this year, OMCs reduced commercial cylinder prices by ₹51.50 in August, ₹33.50 in July, and ₹24 in June.

The Central government also announced 2.5 million free LPG connections under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. The move, part of the festive season drive, aims to help low-income families and promote clean cooking fuel in rural India.
