How much has LPG become costlier on the day of Kharna? Check the new gas cylinder prices.

On the day of 'Kharna'—a significant part of the Chhath festival—all eyes are on gas cylinder prices. Find out the latest LPG rates in major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Patna, and see if there has been any price hike today.

During the Chhath festival, it becomes important for the general public to be aware of gas cylinder prices. Today is the day of 'Kharna' (a ritual during Chhath Puja), and many devotees who observe the fast prefer to use a new gas cylinder to prepare the 'prasad' (offerings) for Chhath. In this context, there has been no change in the price of domestic LPG cylinders today, November 14, 2026—which comes as a relief for those observing the Chhath fast.

However, the price of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinders—used by hotels, restaurants, 'dhabas' (roadside eateries), and other businesses—was increased earlier in November. In Delhi, the price of a 14.2 kg domestic cylinder is ₹942, while a 19 kg commercial cylinder is priced at ₹2,820.
