LPG Gas Cylinder New Rules From November 1, 2026: 12 Big Changes To Know In Indane Gas, HP Gas, Bharat Gas Before Booking
There are 12 major changes that LPG users should be aware during the booking or refilling of their Indane Gas, HP Gas and Bharat Gas cylinders in November 2026 to avoid disruption to their festivity. These rules impact both LPG and PNG customers right from their prices, subsidy benefits, e-KYC, and refilling suspension to new connections. Since the West Asia war, the government has banned one family from holding two LPG connections and expedited the process of switching to PNGs.

The chance of a major hike in commercial LPG prices for the third consecutive month is high. As per the Oil Ministry explainer, commercial LPG is heavily used by hotels and businesses, and accordingly, the prices are revised automatically every month because the price is a direct pass-through of the international benchmark crude oil prices. The domestic LPG cylinders are not.
At present, US WTI crude oil and Brent crude oil stand near $102 per barrel and $115 per barrel. WTI has gained by 13% in 1 month, and Brent zoomed 17%.

3. Revision In PNG Prices From November 1?
Although rising crude oil prices do not directly impact piped natural gas (PNG) prices in India, a lot depends upon on how much city-gas distributors’ natural gas supply is from domestically produced gas versus imported liquefied natural gas (LNG). Apart from this, government pricing rules, distribution costs and taxes are also added to the final price.
Since the West Asia conflict began in late February, city-gas distribution companies have hiked PNG prices twice at a minimal rate. PNGs are naturally cheaper than LPG. An update regarding PNG prices from November 1, 2026, will be keenly watched.
| City | Price | Price Change |
|---|---|---|
| New Delhi | ₹49.60 | +₹0.01 |
| Kolkata | ₹50.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Mumbai | ₹52.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Chennai | ₹52.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Gurgaon | ₹51.50 | +₹3.10 |
| Noida | ₹49.46 | ₹0.00 |
| Bangalore | ₹53.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Bhubaneswar | ₹49.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Chandigarh | ₹57.48 | ₹0.00 |
| Hyderabad | ₹56.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Jaipur | ₹51.50 | ₹0.00 |
| Lucknow | ₹56.50 | ₹0.00 |
| Patna | ₹52.50 | ₹0.00 |
| Thiruvananthapuram | ₹51.00 | ₹0.00 |
4. LPG Gas Cylinder E-KYC Rules
The LPG biometric Aadhaar authentication rule will continue in November as well. In case if you still have not completed your e-KYC, your LPG refills at subsidized rates will be impacted.
Simply put, if you are a PMUY beneficiary and have not completed your e-KYC, you cannot get LPG refill at a subsidised rate. Generally, the government offers Rs 200-300 LPG subsidy through direct benefit transfers (DBT) to these beneficiaries, reducing their buying price.
For consumers who have not completed Aadhaar authentication, refill booking at RSP with subsidy will be enabled once authentication is completed, as per the ministry.
5. Gas Cylinder Booking Intervals of 25-Days
The 25-days booking intervals for LPG refills will continue in November for both rural and urban area customers.
6. Option To Not Complete LPG E-KYC?
Consumers who are unwilling or unable to complete BAA can still receive LPG. They will need to register this choice on their OMC’s digital channels: the consumer web portal, mobile app, WhatsApp chatbot, IVRS or other available channels. These consumers will be supplied LPG applicable market price, without any subsidy, in 5 kg or 10 kg cylinders, subject to local availability with the OMC, as per the ministry guidelines.
7. New LPG Connection Halted
There are reports stating that several states are not able to enrol new LPG connections for 14.2 Kg Indane Gas, HP Gas, and Bharat Gas cylinders. A clarity on applying for a new LPG connection is yet to be known.
8. LPG-PNG Connection: MyPNG Portal
The government continues to expand PNG connections rapidly. This month, the government launched PNG Drive 3.0 and “MyPNG Portal” to accelerate India’s transition to a gas-based economy.
The new PNG portal, a unified national digital consumer portal was launched to streamline PNG services, improve access to information, and strengthen interactions between consumers and City Gas Distribution (CGD) entities.
9. Gas Cylinder Termination 30-Day Rule
This rule has stayed since May 2026 and will continue in November as well. The government has given Indian household customers a 30-day period to terminate their LPG connections, whether they are with Indane Gas, HP Gas or Bharat Gas, once they switch to PNG.
10. Booking Advisory For Indane Gas, HP Gas, Bharat Gas
Some of the March 2026 booking rules continue to be in place. This includes online booking for LPG cylinders. Another rule is that for LPG delivery, a customer should have a one-time password (OTP) which will be sent to them on their registered mobile number. If there is no OTP, the delivery will not be completed.
11. How To Complete Biometric Aadhaar Authentication For LPG Refills Subsidy?
There are three main methods, as per the ministry. These are:
Method 1: During refill delivery: the delivery person can complete authentication on the spot using the OMC mobile application.
Method 2: At the distributor’s showroom: consumers can visit their LPG distributor and complete authentication there.
Method 3: On OMC mobile apps: consumers can complete the process themselves from home using:
IndianOil ONE for Indane customers
HelloBPCL for Bharatgas customers
HP PAY for HP Gas customers
The Government of India has recently amended the Gas Control Order under which only one LPG connection (along with DBC) is permitted in any household consisting of husband, wife, married children and dependant parents living in a dwelling unit having a common kitchen. Thus, multiple LPG connections in a household are now totally forbidden, as per HPCL’s circular on One Household, One Connection rule.
Hence, customers having more than one LPG connection in their homes are hereby advised to surrender multiple connections, if any, immediately. If you are left with only a single-cylinder connection after surrendering the other connection(s), an option will be available to you for converting the same into DBC (Double Bottle Connection).
