LPG rate in Kolkata over the last 1 day
Our record for Kolkata currently holds a single day: ₹968.00 per cylinder on 17 Oct 2026. A range and a trend need at least two days, so this section fills in as the daily record grows.
This table is built from our own daily record rather than from a third-party feed. That means it starts on the day we began tracking Kolkata and grows by one row every night — it is a record of what was actually published, not a reconstructed series.
LPG rate across West Bengal: where Kolkata stands
Within West Bengal, LPG ranges from ₹969.50 per cylinder in Howrah to ₹995.00 in Siliguri — a spread of ₹25.50, or 2.6 per cent. At ₹968.00, Kolkata sits at the bottom of that range.
A gap of that size is almost always tax rather than transport. Central excise duty is uniform nationwide, but state VAT and local levies are not, and that is what separates one city in West Bengal from another.
Kolkata at a glance
Kolkata has a population of roughly 52,00,000 and about 25,00,000 registered vehicles, based on our most recent estimate (as of 31 Mar 2024). These are planning estimates rather than a census count, and they are published here so you can judge what the rest of this page means in context.
A city of that size consumes fuel at a scale that a per-litre price hides completely. Multiply any pump price by the number of vehicles on the road and a one-rupee revision stops looking like a rounding error.
How much Kolkata spends on LPG in a day
Our working estimate for fuel demand in Kolkata is around 1,150 kl/day, again an estimate rather than a metered figure. At today's LPG price of ₹968.00 per cylinder, that demand represents roughly ₹111.32 crore of fuel changing hands in the city every single day.
The arithmetic behind that number is deliberately simple — litres multiplied by the price — and we spell it out so you can substitute your own figure if you have better local data. What it shows is why a small-looking revision matters so much at city scale.
