LPG, CNG and PNG Prices Today, October 12: Check Rates in Major Cities

Domestic LPG cylinder prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on October 12, despite continued uncertainty in global energy markets amid rising tensions in the Middle East. However, commercial LPG cylinder prices were increased on October 1, raising operating costs for restaurants, hotels and other businesses.

A 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder continued to cost ₹942 in Delhi. Prices of compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG) varied across cities due to differences in local taxes, gas procurement costs and distribution expenses. Recent CNG price increases in parts of Uttar Pradesh have also added to the expenses of vehicle owners.

With international energy markets facing continued volatility, households and businesses are keeping a close watch on cooking gas and vehicle fuel prices.

Middle East Tensions Put Pressure on Global Oil Supplies

International crude oil prices increased on October 12 as fresh attacks on commercial vessels and escalating tensions in the Middle East raised concerns about supply disruptions.

Brent crude futures rose 0.73% to $105.48 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 0.64% to $92.44 per barrel. The increases followed intensified attacks by Iran-backed Houthi forces on Saudi Arabia and reports that two tankers had been struck near Oman and in the Strait of Hormuz.

Saudi Arabia reported another attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport on October 11. This came a day after an earlier strike reportedly killed 13 people and injured more than 300. Saudi air defences also intercepted a cruise missile near the airport and a drone in the country’s eastern region.

US President Donald Trump indicated that Washington could consider joining Saudi Arabia in military action against the Houthis.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a major concern for international shipping and energy supplies. India has also expressed concern over attacks on commercial vessels in the region. Two Indian crew members were reported missing after a drone struck the vessel MT Petro Dolphin.

Continued uncertainty around shipping routes and oil supplies has kept crude prices elevated, raising concerns about energy security and the potential impact on fuel costs.
