LPG, CNG and piped natural gas (PNG) prices remain important for households, commuters and businesses across India on October 19, 2026. The latest available city-wise figures show that domestic LPG cylinder prices remain unchanged following the October 1 revision, while commercial LPG rates have increased in major cities.
CNG and PNG prices continue to differ across locations because of variations in distribution charges, taxes and gas procurement costs. Consumers should confirm the latest rates with their local gas suppliers before making payments or budgeting for fuel expenses.
Separately, reports indicate that India is considering a proposal to blend up to 5% hydrogen into PNG networks. The plan aims to gradually reduce reliance on conventional natural gas, but it remains at the proposal stage and does not signal an immediate change in retail gas prices.

US-Iran War Update: Strait of Hormuz and Energy Supply Concerns
Developments involving the United States, Israel and Iran remain a focus for global energy markets. According to the supplied report, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said an oil tanker had caught fire after striking a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the vessel of violating regulations as attacks on shipping continued.
US President Donald Trump said he was working towards a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. He also suggested that Moscow had not assisted Iran during the US-Israel conflict. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of pushing the United States into another war to avoid jail.
The report also said Iran’s parliament had approved a new defence minister, while Saudi Arabia faced further drone and missile attacks from Yemen. Egypt said it was prepared to support Riyadh, and Iran’s foreign minister stated that an offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remained available.
Iran was also reported to be promoting a seven-day peace plan aimed at reopening the strategic waterway. Trump and the US Central Command (CENTCOM), meanwhile, maintained that the route remained open to all ships except Iranian vessels.
The report further stated that Trump had postponed strikes against Iran amid the US midterm election period. Experts cited in the report anticipated that disruption to oil shipping and energy prices could remain potential sources of retaliation after the elections.
