LPG, CNG and PNG prices have changed or remained stable across different Indian cities on September 1, 2026. While domestic LPG rates are largely unchanged in several cities, CNG and PNG prices have increased in parts of Maharashtra, including Mumbai and Pune.
LPG, CNG and PNG prices today
Fuel prices do not follow one single pricing pattern across India. Domestic LPG cylinder rates are generally revised by oil marketing companies at the beginning of a month, while CNG and PNG rates are set by city gas distribution companies and can vary by location.
For September 1, the available city-wise data shows that a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder costs ₹942 in New Delhi, ₹993.50 in Nagpur and ₹957.50 in Chennai. Pune’s domestic LPG rate is ₹945, while Raipur is at ₹1,013.
CNG prices have seen more noticeable movement in Maharashtra. In Pune, Maharashtra Natural Gas Ltd has increased CNG by ₹2 per kg, taking the rate to ₹97.75 per kg from September 1. The revised rate applies to Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad and adjoining areas including Chakan, Talegaon and Hinjewadi.
LPG cylinder price today in major cities
Here are some reported domestic LPG rates for September 1, 2026:
| City | Domestic LPG price |
|---|---|
| New Delhi | ₹942 |
| Chandigarh | ₹922.50 |
| Nagpur | ₹993.50 |
| Pune | ₹945 |
| Chennai | ₹957.50 |
| Bhopal | ₹947.50 |
| Jaipur | ₹945.50 |
| Lucknow | ₹979.50 |
| Raipur | ₹1,013 |
| Varanasi | ₹1,005.50 |
The rates above refer to the standard domestic LPG cylinder, generally listed as a 14.2 kg cylinder. City-level differences can arise from local taxes, distribution costs and other components of the retail price.
Consumers should also distinguish domestic LPG from commercial LPG. Commercial cylinders are generally sold in different sizes and are priced separately. A restaurant, hotel or other commercial establishment should not use a domestic cylinder for business operations.
CNG price today: Pune sees ₹2 per kg hike
Pune is among the cities where CNG users are paying more from September 1.
MNGL has increased its CNG price by ₹2 per kg, taking the new rate to ₹97.75 per kg in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad and specified adjoining areas. The company attributed the revision to higher input and operating costs, including pressure linked to disruptions in international LNG supplies.
For comparison, the reported CNG price in New Delhi on September 1 is ₹86.98 per kg. Pune’s rate is listed at ₹97.50 in some daily price databases, but the latest MNGL announcement specifically states that the revised price from September 1 is ₹97.75 per kg. For a news article, the company-announced rate should be treated as the more relevant figure for the affected MNGL network.
CNG rates can differ substantially even between nearby cities because different city gas distribution companies operate different networks and face different supply, transportation and operating costs.
Mumbai CNG price rises to ₹88 per kg
Mumbai residents are also paying more for CNG from September 1.
Mahanagar Gas Ltd has raised the CNG price by ₹2 per kg, taking the Mumbai and surrounding-area rate from ₹86 to ₹88 per kg. The company has linked the increase to higher input costs, including the increased cost of imported spot regasified LNG used to meet part of the growing CNG requirement.
The change is particularly relevant for Mumbai’s large CNG-dependent transport sector. Auto-rickshaws and taxis form a major part of the city’s CNG vehicle base, so higher fuel costs can affect both drivers’ operating expenses and, indirectly, transportation costs.
The September 1 revision comes alongside higher auto-rickshaw and taxi fares in Mumbai, adding to the overall impact on daily commuters.
PNG price today and what Mumbai consumers should know
Piped natural gas, or PNG, is supplied directly to connected homes through a gas pipeline rather than being delivered in cylinders.
In Mumbai and the wider MGL network, domestic PNG prices have also increased from September 1. MGL has raised the domestic PNG price by ₹1 per standard cubic metre. The company said the revision would affect more than 30 lakh households across its network.
The difference between LPG and PNG is important for households comparing their monthly cooking expenses. LPG is purchased in cylinders, while PNG is billed according to the quantity of gas consumed through a metered connection.
Therefore, households should not compare only the price of one LPG cylinder with the per-unit PNG rate. A meaningful comparison requires looking at actual monthly consumption and the applicable charges.
How to check LPG prices in your city
Consumers can check their current LPG rate through their oil marketing company’s official customer channels or reliable fuel-price pages.
The three major public-sector oil marketing companies serving domestic LPG customers are Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum. LPG prices are commonly revised at the beginning of the month, making September 1 an important date for checking the latest rate.
To check your LPG price:
- Identify your LPG provider and distributor.
- Visit the provider’s official customer portal or app.
- Check the current domestic cylinder price for your location.
- Confirm whether the displayed amount refers to a domestic or commercial cylinder.
- Check the final amount shown when placing a refill order.
The amount charged to an eligible customer can also depend on applicable subsidy arrangements. Consumers should therefore check the actual amount payable against their booking or delivery details rather than relying only on a general city-level rate.
How to check CNG and PNG prices online
CNG and PNG customers should check the website or customer platform of the city gas distributor serving their area.
For example, Adani Total Gas provides information about its CNG network and services, while companies such as MGL and MNGL publish information for their respective operating areas.
The easiest process is to first identify the gas distributor in your city. Then:
- Open the distributor’s official website or app.
- Select the CNG or PNG section.
- Enter your city or service area if required.
- Check the latest applicable rate.
- For PNG, also review the billing structure and applicable charges.
This is especially important in areas where prices have changed recently. A search result from an older date may show a different rate from the price currently charged at a CNG station or on a household PNG bill.
Why fuel prices can differ between Indian cities
There is no single retail price for LPG, CNG or PNG across the country.
LPG prices can vary because of transportation expenses, local taxes and distribution-related costs. CNG and PNG are even more location-specific because they are distributed through city gas networks operated by different companies.
International energy prices can also influence domestic natural gas costs. Recent developments affecting LNG supply have been cited by gas distributors in Maharashtra when explaining September’s CNG price increases.
For consumers, this means that checking a national headline is not enough. The price applicable to a household or vehicle owner depends on the city, supplier and type of fuel being purchased.
