Domestic LPG, CNG and PNG prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on October 5, providing some relief to households despite elevated international crude oil prices. However, the cost of commercial LPG cylinders has increased, adding to the operating expenses of restaurants, hotels and other businesses.
The price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders was revised upward on October 1, while domestic LPG rates have remained stable. CNG and PNG prices also continue to differ from one city to another because of local pricing structures, taxes and distribution costs.
Global energy markets remain under pressure. Brent crude settled at $102.31 per barrel on October 1, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed at $91.11 per barrel. Rising tensions in West Asia and reports of increased US military deployment in the region have added uncertainty to the global energy market.

US-Iran Tensions and Global Energy Market
Developments involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz continue to remain important for global energy markets. Iran has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until its seven core conditions are fulfilled. US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the strategic shipping route within seven days.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that counter-proposals from the US through mediators were inadequate and one-sided. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also indicated that Tehran was prepared for a possible military escalation if negotiations fail.
Qatar has expressed hope that continued shuttle diplomacy between the US and Iran could help produce a breakthrough. However, Trump has denied reports that he was prepared to ease sanctions and release frozen Iranian funds in return for concessions related to Iran’s nuclear programme.
Meanwhile, a commercial oil tanker reported engine-room damage after being hit by a projectile near the Strait of Hormuz. Yemen-linked Houthi forces also claimed responsibility for ballistic missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais.
Any prolonged disruption in the region could keep international energy prices volatile, which may create pressure on fuel and gas prices in the coming weeks.
