LPG gas cylinder prices in India remained stable on Wednesday. Kerala's hospitality sector is observing a one-day statewide shutdown to protest against the steep increase in commercial cooking gas prices.LPG prices in India held steady on Wednesday, 6 May.(Naveen Sharma | ANI)Domestic and commercial LPG gas cylinder prices remained steady in India on Wednesday despite volatility in oil markets across the globe. The Centre is playing a major role in controlling fuel and domestic LPG prices to shield consumers against price pressures. Since, state-run oil marketing companies such as Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum regularly review and adjust prices for commercial LPG and Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), commercial LPG gas price witnessed significant price hike in the recent monthly revision.Most countries of the world are facing energy crisis due to supply disruption across the critical trade route — the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and gas exports take place. This disruption in energy supply chain triggered the steep rise in fuel prices across the world.Since, the Iran war with US and Israel began on 28 February, commercial LPG cooking gas rates have been revised thrice. In March, the price increased by ₹144 in March, in April by ₹203 and in May by ₹993. Domestic LPG cylinder price was also revised in March which was hiked by ₹60.CityDomestic (14.2 Kg)Commercial (19 Kg)New Delhi ₹913.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,071.50 ( +993.00 )Kolkata ₹939.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,202.00 ( +994.00 )Mumbai ₹912.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,024.00 ( +993.00 )Chennai ₹928.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,237.00 ( +990.50 )Gurgaon ₹921.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,088.00 ( +993.00 )Noida ₹910.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,071.50 ( +993.00 )Bangalore ₹915.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,152.00 ( +991.00 )Bhubaneswar ₹939.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,238.00 ( +993.50 )Chandigarh ₹922.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,092.50 ( +993.00 )Hyderabad ₹965.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,315.00 ( +994.00 )Jaipur ₹916.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,099.00 ( +993.00 )Lucknow ₹950.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,194.00 ( +993.00 )Patna ₹1,002.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,346.50 ( +993.50 )Thiruvananthapuram ₹922.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,106.00 ( +993.00 )Positive sentiment flooded the market after US President Donald Trump claimed progress in negotiations with Iran. Due to optimism in investor sentiment toward an agreement to end the war, stock market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade.Donald Trump on Tuesday announced suspension of "Project Freedom," which was launched on Monday to escort ships out of the Gulf waterway. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “Great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran.”He added, “Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed.”Amid signs of easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, brent crude oil prices fell to $108 per barrel.As a result, Brent crude prices retreated from their elevated level. Following this development, the 30-share BSE Sensex plunged 657.22 points to 77,675.01 in early trade while the 50-share NSE Nifty bounced 218 points to 24,250.85.

(PTI Photo)(PTI04_17_2026_000313A)(PTI)The US-Iran war, now in its third month, continues to put upward pressure on oil prices as it disrupts the supply of one-fifth of global oil exports through the strategic waterway — the Strait of Hormuz. Due to fuel supply disruptions caused by the evolving situation in West Asia, the LPG commercial gas prices in India underwent a third revision since the conflict began on 28 April.Prices of commercial LPG - the one used in hotels and restaurants - were hiked by ₹993 to a record high of ₹3,071.50 per 19-kg cylinder. The rates for 5-kg FTL or market-priced LPG cylinders were hiked from ₹549 to ₹810.50 per bottle.The 5-kg FTL cylinder now costs just a shade lower than the ₹913 rate for a 14.2-kg cylinder used in household kitchens (called domestic LPG).Domestic LPG prices were hiked by ₹60 per 14.2-kg cylinder on March 7.CityDomestic (14.2 Kg)Commercial (19 Kg)New Delhi ₹913.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,071.50 ( +993.00 )Kolkata ₹939.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,202.00 ( +994.00 )Mumbai ₹912.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,024.00 ( +993.00 )Chennai ₹928.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,237.00 ( +990.50 )Gurugram ₹921.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,088.00 ( +993.00 )Noida ₹910.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,071.50 ( +993.00 )Bengaluru ₹915.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,152.00 ( +991.00 )Bhubaneswar ₹939.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,238.00 ( +993.50 )Chandigarh ₹922.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,092.50 ( +993.00 )Hyderabad ₹965.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,315.00 ( +994.00 )Jaipur ₹916.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,099.00 ( +993.00 )Lucknow ₹950.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,194.00 ( +993.00 )Patna ₹1,002.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,346.50 ( +993.50 )Thiruvananthapuram ₹922.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,106.00 ( +993.00 )US naval ops to safeguard India's LPG supplyUS Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the ongoing US-led naval operations a "humanitarian effort" aimed at safeguarding critical global supply chains, including LPG, vital for daily cooking in India.Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Bessent said the disruption in Hormuz threatens not just oil flows but essential goods for vulnerable populations worldwide.“This is a humanitarian effort... it's not only energy that's in there, it's fertiliser, it's food transport, it's LPG for the more than the billion-plus people in India use to cook,” he said.‘No plan of financial support for fuel retailers’: GovtThe price hike was not enough to cover all the increased cost, and oil companies are booking under-recoveries or losses. The government has, in the past, covered for the under-recoveries on LPG through budgetary subsidy support."There is no proposal before the government to support oil marketing companies (for their losses)," said Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.Only rates of bulk or industrial diesel, as well as commercial LPG - the one used by hotels and restaurants - have been increased.The bulk diesel and commercial LPG make up for only 10 per cent of the fuel, she said. "Every effort has been made to protect the consumers (by not raising retail prices). Consumer interest has been kept in mind when deciding on the revision," she said.Stay updated with the latest Trending, India , World and US news.

POTUS on Sundy vowed safe navigation for ships through the Strait of Hormuz.Petrol and diesel prices held steady on 4 May.(REUTERS)Petrol and diesel prices remained steady on Monday while markets opened on an optimistic note on 4 May. Global oil prices jumped sharply after the Iran war with US and Israel began on 28 February. However, the Indian government continues to cushion consumers against volatility in the oil market worldwide.Positive sentiment flooded the market after US President Donald Trump on Sunday said that Washington would guide ships not involved in the Iran conflict through the strategic waterway — Strait of Hormuz — from Monday. Even though there was no sign of progress in peace talks with Iran, the US will free up ships stranded in the critical trade route through which one-fifth of global exports take place.CityPricePrice ChangeNew Delhi ₹94.770.00Kolkata ₹105.45+0.04Mumbai ₹103.540.00Chennai ₹100.840.00Gurugram ₹95.30-0.14Noida ₹94.77-0.13Bengaluru ₹102.920.00Bhubaneswar ₹101.11-0.05Chandigarh ₹94.300.00Hyderabad ₹107.460.00Jaipur ₹104.94+0.32Lucknow ₹94.73+0.04Patna ₹105.23-0.37Thiruvananthapuram ₹107.480.00CityPricePrice ChangeNew Delhi ₹87.670.00Kolkata ₹92.020.00Mumbai ₹90.030.00Chennai ₹92.390.00Gurugram ₹87.77-0.13Noida ₹87.89-0.12Bengaluru ₹90.990.00Bhubaneswar ₹92.69-0.05Chandigarh ₹82.450.00Hyderabad ₹95.700.00Jaipur ₹90.41+0.29Lucknow ₹87.86+0.05Patna ₹91.49-0.35Thiruvananthapuram ₹96.480.00Trump in a post on Truth Social wrote, “we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business. Again, these are Ships from areas of the World that are not in any way involved with that which is currently taking place in the Middle East."He added, "I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning, Middle East time.”Meanwhile, a senior Iranian official warned that Tehran would consider it a breach of ceasefire if US interferes in the Strait, AFP reported. Meanwhile, Brent crude, which is currently trading around $108 a barre, whipsawed — initially falling 2.4%, then erasing those losses before dropping 0.5%.Trump described discussions with Iran as “very positive” after it received Washington response to its latest 14-point proposal to end the war. For the past two months, disruptions in energy supplies was witnessed due to blockade on the Strait of Hormuz trade route.Iran demanded complete end to the conflict within 30 days in its latest proposal. Tehran also called for guarantees against renewed strikes, Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported. Reiterating earlier demands in its peace plan, Tehran demanded withdrawal of US forces from the region around Iran. It also demanded removal of sanctions and maritime blockade, in addition to payment of reparations.Impact of elevated crude oil prices on aviationAccording to Sparta Commodities Senior Oil Analyst Abhishek Kumar, Indian aviation is sensitive to crude oil prices and losses will become harder to absorb if fuel prices stay elevated.“If the fuel shock stays elevated, the risk is that losses become harder to absorb, flights are cancelled, and government intervention may be needed to protect connectivity and prevent deeper stress across the sector,” ANI quoted Abhishek Kumar as saying.Elaborating on the vulnerability of the aviation sector, he added, ""India is more sensitive because ATF is already a large cost item and the airline sector is highly price-sensitive. Airlines may raise fares on some routes, but they cannot pass through the full cost without hurting demand."Get Latest real-time updatesStay updated w
IMD has issued a red alert for severe thunderstorms, hailstorms and gusty winds of up to 80 kmph across Delhi on 4 May 2026. Here is what residents need to know and how to stay safe.Due to cloud cover and rain, the maximum temperature is likely to remain between 32-34°C on Monday (HT)(HT_PRINT)Heavy rainfall swept across Delhi on Monday (4 May) as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for severe thunderstorms and hailstorms across large parts of the national capital, with conditions expected to remain potentially disruptive through the day.The warning, issued late on Sunday evening, placed several Delhi districts under the department's most serious alert level while others were assigned an orange alert, signalling the need for heightened preparedness.Which Parts of Delhi Are Under Red and Orange Alert?The IMD confirmed that the red alert covers Outer North Delhi, Northwest Delhi, West Delhi, Southwest Delhi, parts of North Delhi, Central Delhi, Northeast Delhi and Shahdara. South Delhi, Southeast Delhi and remaining parts of North Delhi have been placed under an orange alert. Isolated thunderstorm activity is also expected at various locations across the wider Delhi-NCR region.According to the weather department, the city is very likely to experience severe thunderstorms accompanied by lightning, hailstorms, dust storms and moderate rainfall, with gusty winds reaching speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour in some areas.What Damage Could the Storm Cause? IMD Lists Likely ImpactsThe weather office issued a detailed list of potential impacts associated with the storm system moving over the capital. Large tree branches are likely to break, and weak or old trees could be uprooted entirely. Lightning strikes pose a particular risk at vulnerable locations such as tall trees and electric poles, the IMD warned.Beyond these, authorities cautioned against a broader range of possible disruptions. "Damage to kutcha houses, huts and weak structures, partial collapse of boundary walls, difficult driving conditions and possible road accidents are also likely. Vehicles may also be damaged due to falling branches or debris," the department said.Municipal services, including power supply, could also face interruption as a result of the storm.Thunderstorm and Hailstorm Warnings Across North India on 4 May 2026The severe weather system is not confined to Delhi alone. The IMD has issued storm warnings across a wide swathe of northern India for 4 May 2026, covering the following regions:East Uttar Pradesh and West Uttar Pradesh are both under warnings for thunderstorms, lightning, squalls and hailstorms.

Since the war broke out in West Asia on 28 February, crude oil prices have surged to above $120 per barrel — a four-year high — up sharply from around $73 before hostilities began. The price hike has sent ripples across India's import bill, with rising petroleum and fertiliser costs threatening both the fiscal math and consumer prices.India's Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran warned that a below-normal monsoon combined with a pass-through of higher energy prices could trigger a "potential inflation spike" in the months ahead — a double blow to households already feeling the pinch at the pump.‘A Very Challenging Situation’Nageswaran identified four distinct channels through which the West Asia conflict is hitting India -- price and supply shock, trade disruption, sticky logistics costs, and a remittance shock -- cautioning that the crisis was not a passing storm.He noted that India imports 60% of its LPG requirements, of which 90% flows through the now-closed Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a "very challenging situation."The government, he said, was already walking a tightrope -- partially passing through higher energy costs via commercial LPG pricing and export duties on diesel and ATF, while cutting excise duties on petrol and diesel to shield ordinary consumers."We are arriving at a modus vivendi with respect to burden-sharing between fiscal policy, inflation, households and oil marketing companies. It has to be a balancing act," Nageswaran said.Last week, a senior oil ministry official said that state-run fuel retailers were facing losses of around ₹20 per litre on petrol and nearly ₹100 per litre on diesel because of unchanged retail prices for almost four years, despite the rise in international oil rates.Notably, state-run oil companies earned significant profits when global crude prices were largely subdued in the past couple of years, and retail fuel prices remained largely stagnant.Petrol Price Across CitiesOn Friday, Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), speaking on behalf of the industry, said that prices of petrol and diesel would remain unchanged despite rising global energy costs.However, government sources told PTI that a rise in petrol and diesel prices cannot be ruled out in the near term.Here is a list of petrol prices across India's cities:StatePriceChange in PriceNew Delhi ₹94.770Kolkata ₹105.410Mumbai ₹103.540Chennai ₹100.8-0.04Gurugram ₹95.43-0.22Noida ₹94.85-0.05Bengaluru ₹102.960Bhubaneswar ₹100.94-0.09Chandigarh ₹94.300.00Hyderabad ₹107.5+0.04Jaipur ₹105.03-0.37Lucknow ₹94.69-0.04Patna ₹105.74+0.32Thiruvananthapuram ₹107.4-0.08Here is a list of petrol prices across India's cities:CityPriceChange in priceNew Delhi ₹87.670Kolkata ₹92.020Mumbai ₹90.030Chennai ₹92.390Gurugram ₹87.89-0.21Noida ₹87.98-0.03Bengaluru ₹90.990Bhubaneswar ₹92.52-0.08Chandigarh ₹82.450Hyderabad ₹95.70Jaipur ₹89.98-0.23Lucknow ₹87.810Patna ₹91.97+0.3Thiruvananthapuram ₹96.28-0.2Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday said India expanded its crude oil sourcing base to 41 countries from 27 earlier, as part of efforts to strengthen energy security during the global energy crisis."What has happened during this energy crisis in India, it happened because the Govt absorbed the shock at the fiscal system level rather than passing it immediately on to the consumer's wallet," Puri said while speaking at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference - South Gujarat.He added that long-term planning played a key role in managing the crisis. "Because preparations made over the last 10 years, the decade, came into play exactly when they were needed.

Crude oil, which was priced at around $70 per barrel last year, has averaged more than $114 per barrel in late April. Will this lead to a petrol price hike in India?Representative Image(PTI)Global oil prices jumped sharply after the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, followed by Tehran’s extensive retaliation that effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz. Crude oil, which was priced at around $70 per barrel last year, has averaged more than $114 per barrel in late April.But the Indian government said that the retail prices of petrol and diesel have remained unchanged since early April 2022.Last week, a senior oil ministry official said that state-run fuel retailers were facing losses of around ₹20 per litre on petrol and nearly ₹100 per litre on diesel because of unchanged retail prices for almost four years, despite the rise in international oil rates.Notably, state-run oil companies earned significant profits when global crude prices were largely subdued in the past couple of years, and retail fuel prices remained largely stagnant.On Friday, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), speaking on behalf of the industry, said that prices of petrol and diesel would remain unchanged despite rising global energy costs.However, government sources told PTI that a rise in petrol and diesel prices cannot be ruled out in the near term.Hike in petrol and diesel prices?On Wednesday, a Press Information Bureau (PIB) post dismissed social media claims of an alleged government-issued order for a "hike in petrol and diesel prices by ₹10 and ₹12.50, respectively"."An order circulating on social media claims to be issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, stating that petrol and diesel prices have been increased by ₹10 and ₹12.50, respectively,” PIB said on X., adding, "This order is #FAKE.
