Estimate your yearly cooking gas spend from the number of LPG refills you take and the price you pay per refill, with or without PMUY subsidy.
How to use it. Count your refills over the past 12 months from your booking history in the oil company app or your passbook, then pick a price basis. The yearly cost is refills × price per refill + other yearly costs.
Price basis. Domestic LPG prices are revised by the public-sector oil marketing companies and announced per city. The 14.2 kg domestic cylinder in Delhi went from ₹853 (8 April 2025) to ₹913 on 7 March 2026 and ₹942 on 7 June 2026, still the price on 1 October 2026 according to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC). With the ₹300 targeted subsidy a subsidised PMUY refill costs ₹642. Prices are revised from time to time, so replace ₹942 with the price on your latest cash memo or the IOCL, BPCL or HPCL price page.
Subsidy. For ordinary consumers the cylinder is bought at the full price; any subsidy under DBTL (PAHAL) is credited to the linked bank account, and for most non-PMUY households it has been negligible in recent years. PMUY beneficiaries get a targeted subsidy of ₹300 per 14.2 kg refill, credited to their account, up to the annual refill cap set by the government, which was cut from 9 to 4 refills a year in June 2026. For a PMUY household, enter the subsidised refills at ₹642 and any further refills at the full price, or use the full price and subtract ₹1,200 a year.
Worked example. A family of four uses 8 refills a year at ₹942: 8 × 942 = ₹7,536, plus ₹200 for a new suraksha hose = ₹7,736. A PMUY family on the same 8 refills gets the subsidy on 4 of them: 4 × ₹300 = ₹1,200, so the effective cost is ₹6,336 + ₹200 = ₹6,536.
Limits. The tool does not include delivery charges (delivery to the address is included in the retail price; you need not pay extra), commercial 19 kg cylinders, or PNG, which is billed per standard cubic metre. See the PNG comparison guide for that.
