LPG Rules From November 1: 25-Day Refill Gap, Aadhaar e-KYC and Price Update

LPG Rules From November 1: LPG consumers will continue to follow the 25-day refill booking interval in November, while biometric Aadhaar authentication remains necessary for subsidised domestic refills. Oil marketing companies review cylinder prices monthly, but no November 1 revision had been officially announced in the information checked by October 31, 2026.

25-Day LPG Refill Booking Rule Continues

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas made the refill gap 25 days for all domestic LPG consumers, including rural households, from September 10, 2026. It applies to Indane, Bharatgas and HP Gas customers in rural and urban areas; it is not a new November 1 rule.

After the Middle East conflict began in February 2026, the ministry had set 25 days for urban and 45 days for rural consumers. It made the interval uniform in September, citing improved supply conditions and reduced refill backlogs.

Aadhaar Biometric Authentication for Subsidised Refills

From October 1, 2026, domestic LPG consumers must complete Biometric Aadhaar Authentication (BAA) to book refills at the regulated Retail Selling Price with applicable subsidy.

Consumers who have already completed BAA do not need to repeat it. Others can book at the regulated price with subsidy after authentication. The ministry says the measure helps prevent diversion and duplicate or ineligible connections.

BAA can be completed:

• During delivery, using the OMC mobile application.
• At the LPG distributor’s showroom.
• At home through IndianOil ONE (Indane), HelloBPCL (Bharatgas) or HP PAY (HP Gas). Self e-KYC tutorials are available on the PMUY portal.

Consumers unwilling or unable to complete BAA can still receive LPG. They must register this choice through their OMC’s consumer portal, app, WhatsApp chatbot or IVRS. Subject to local availability, they can receive 5 kg or 10 kg cylinders at market price without subsidy.

PMUY Subsidy: Official Amount and Refill Limit

The supplied report mentioned ₹200–₹300. The Ministry’s June 7, 2026 update specifies a DBT subsidy of ₹300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for eligible PMUY beneficiaries on the first four refills each year. It said the support was unchanged.

LPG Cylinder Prices: November Rates Not Confirmed

Oil marketing companies review LPG prices monthly. Goodreturns said on November 1, 2026 price change had been officially announced as of October 29; the checked information does not confirm an increase or decrease.

IndianOil lists Delhi’s non-subsidised domestic 14.2 kg Indane cylinder at ₹942 (price page last updated June 7, 2026) and its 19 kg commercial cylinder at ₹2,810 (last updated October 1, 2026). Local rates may vary; consumers should check with their OMC or distributor.

Distributors’ Protest and PNG Provision

The Tribune reported that more than 4,000 LPG distributors protested in Delhi on October 26, 2026. The LPG Distributors Association (India) sought higher commissions, restoration of affected LPG connections and a review of alleged OMC interference. It gave the Centre one month to respond, warning of a possible nationwide strike.

Under the government’s May 25, 2026 LPG Control Order amendment, consumers obtaining PNG may apply to terminate their LPG connection within 30 days or obtain a transfer voucher for possible restoration in a non-PNG area.
