LPG Cylinder: Changes made to the gas cylinder booking system; now, second cylinder cannot be booked before 21 days..

LPG Cylinder Booking Rules: In light of the global situation, changes have been made to the rules for booking domestic gas cylinders. The booking period has been extended from 15 days to 21 days, meaning there will be a 21-day gap between the delivery of one cylinder and the next. Agencies' software has been immediately updated to implement this new rule. However, the booking process remains the same. Customers can book the next cylinder as soon as they receive it. However, the ministry is also considering allowing bookings to be made only after 21 days. If this new rule is implemented, you will only be allowed to book the next cylinder after the 21 days for the previous one has passed.

Permission to purchase 15 cylinders per year

Oil companies have already established certain rules for domestic gas cylinders. According to these rules, each consumer can purchase only 12 subsidized cylinders per year, and three non-subsidized cylinders in addition. Thus, only 15 cylinders can be purchased per gas connection between April 1 and March 31.

24-Hour Cylinder Delivery Rule
Oil companies have mandated that cylinders be delivered within 24 hours of booking. This provides significant convenience to consumers.

Now, the second cylinder will be available only after 21 days.

A new rule has been implemented that the second cylinder will be delivered only 21 days after the first cylinder is received. This has been locked in the agency's software. However, there is no shortage of cylinders. Consumers have been told not to worry. Everyone will continue to receive sufficient cylinders. This week, the bottling plant will operate on Sundays as well to avoid any supply disruptions.

New Cylinder Prices in Delhi and Mumbai

The price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Delhi has been increased by ₹115 from March 7. Now, this cylinder will be available in Delhi for ₹1,883. This increase is a new increase after the price hike in April 2025. In Mumbai, which is the financial capital of the country, a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder will now be available for Rs 1,835.
