LPG New Rules From November 1, 2026: What Has Changed In Indane Gas, HP Gas, Bharat Gas This Month?

Major rules have changed from November 1, 2026, for LPG-related services in India. The biggest change is once again the hike in commercial LPG prices, while domestic LPG rates were kept unchanged. Also, PNG prices did not see any revision, which comes as good news for those who are switching to this cooking gas from LPG. Furthermore, rules have been in place regarding refilling, booking and e-KYC, which will continue in November as well.

1. Commercial LPG Prices Hiked

As per Indian Oil LPG prices city-wise page, 19 Kg commercial LPG price is increased by Rs 10 in Delhi to Rs 2,820 per cylinder with effect from November 1, 2026, compared to previous month's rate of Rs 2,810. This was the lowest hike.

2. Domestic LPG Prices From November 1, 2026

OMCs have kept domestic LPG rates unchanged since June 7, 2026. That time, Indane, HP and Bharat Gas LPG prices in 14.2 Kg cylinder were raised by Rs 29, after a huge hike of Rs 60 on March 7, 2026. The rates are unchanged for November 2026.

Hence, for November 2026, domestic LPG price stood at Rs 942 in Delhi, at Rs 968 in Kolkata, at Rs 941.50 in Mumbai, and at Rs 957.50 in Chennai. The highest domestic LPG rate is of Rs 1,031.50 sold in Patna.

3. PNG Prices From November 1, 2026

4. LPG Gas Cylinder E-KYC Rules

The LPG biometric Aadhaar authentication rule will continue in November as well. In case if you still have not completed your e-KYC, your LPG refills at subsidized rates will be impacted.

Simply put, if you are a PMUY beneficiary and have not completed your e-KYC, you cannot get LPG refill at a subsidised rate. Generally, the government offers Rs 200-300 LPG subsidy through direct benefit transfers (DBT) to these beneficiaries, reducing their buying price.

For consumers who have not completed Aadhaar authentication, refill booking at RSP with subsidy will be enabled once authentication is completed, as per the ministry.

5. Gas Cylinder Booking Intervals of 25-Days

The 25-days booking intervals for LPG refills will continue in November for both rural and urban area customers.

6. Option To Not Complete LPG E-KYC?

Consumers who are unwilling or unable to complete BAA can still receive LPG. They will need to register this choice on their OMC's digital channels: the consumer web portal, mobile app, WhatsApp chatbot, IVRS or other available channels. These consumers will be supplied LPG applicable market price, without any subsidy, in 5 kg or 10 kg cylinders, subject to local availability with the OMC, as per the ministry guidelines.

7. New LPG Connection Halted

There are reports stating that several states are not able to enrol new LPG connections for 14.2 Kg Indane Gas, HP Gas, and Bharat Gas cylinders. A clarity on applying for a new LPG connection is yet to be known.

8. LPG-PNG Connection: MyPNG Portal

The government continues to expand PNG connections rapidly. This month, the government launched PNG Drive 3.0 and "MyPNG Portal" to accelerate India's transition to a gas-based economy. The new PNG portal, a unified national digital consumer portal was launched to streamline PNG services, improve access to information, and strengthen interactions between consumers and City Gas Distribution (CGD) entities.

9. Gas Cylinder Termination 30-Day Rule

This rule has stayed since May 2026 and will continue in November as well. The government has given Indian household customers a 30-day period to terminate their LPG connections, whether they are with Indane Gas, HP Gas or Bharat Gas, once they switch to PNG.

10. Booking Advisory For Indane Gas, HP Gas, Bharat Gas

Some of the March 2026 booking rules continue to be in place. This includes online booking for LPG cylinders. Another rule is that for LPG delivery, a customer should have a one-time password (OTP) which will be sent to them on their registered mobile number. If there is no OTP, the delivery will not be completed.
