Top story: crude crashes, but LPG prices stay put
- Brent crude fell about 9% on 4 November to below $95 a barrel, its lowest in about two months.
- India’s LPG imports from the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar rose sharply in September–October, helped by ship-to-ship transfers near Hormuz.
- Iran says Indian ships are exempt from its Hormuz transit restrictions.
- Uttar Pradesh will give two free LPG refills a year to over 1.89 crore Ujjwala families.
- Domestic LPG prices are unchanged today. Delhi: ₹942 (14.2 kg) and ₹2,820 (19 kg commercial).
Brent crude fell 8.7%, or $8.98, in one session on Wednesday to slip below $94 a barrel. US crude (WTI) fell to around $87.
Fortune India reported Brent at $93.70 and WTI at $87.04 early on Thursday. Traders are betting that the US midterm results will push Washington towards a deal to end the war with Iran.
This matters for India because the country imports most of its crude and about 60% of its LPG. Cheaper oil can ease the import bill and the rupee. But LPG prices in India follow the Saudi Aramco contract price (CP), not daily crude moves.
Aramco’s November CP rose to $720 a tonne for propane and $780 for butane, as reported on 29 October. So a fall in crude does not mean a cheaper cylinder tomorrow. Analysts quoted by Fortune India also warned that the fall rests on hopes, not a confirmed peace deal.

Gulf LPG cargoes return to India
India’s LPG imports from the UAE averaged 565,315 tonnes a month in September–October, up 240% from March–August, according to Kpler data reported by the Indian Express. Imports from Kuwait and Qatar also rose.
US LPG imports fell 36% over the same period. Total imports were about 1.52 million tonnes in October, still below the 2.03 million tonnes of February, before the war.
Iran exempts Indian ships from Hormuz restrictions
An Iranian lawmaker said ships from India, China, Iraq and Qatar can pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s transit restrictions, Outlook India reported. He said Indian and Chinese ships still pay a fee. Nearly 90% of India’s LPG imports pass through this waterway, so safer passage helps supply.
UP announces two free refills for Ujjwala families
Uttar Pradesh will give one free refill around Diwali and one around Holi in 2026–27 to over 1.89 crore eligible Ujjwala families. Beneficiaries need an Aadhaar-linked bank account and completed Aadhaar authentication. The Chief Minister said a domestic cylinder costs ₹983.45, with a central subsidy of ₹335 for Ujjwala users.
Butane hits decade highs worldwide
Butane prices have reached multi-year highs. Asia’s AFEI butane index stood at $1,180 a tonne on 3 November, OilPrice.com reported. Indian cooking gas is close to a 50:50 propane–butane mix, so costly butane keeps pressure on India’s import costs even as crude falls.
Oil marketing company shares rally
HPCL rose 5.17%, BPCL 3.63% and IOC 3.10% in early trade on Thursday as crude fell, Moneycontrol reported. Lower crude eases costs for these companies, which sell LPG, petrol and diesel.
Neighbour watch: Pakistan’s LPG crunch
In Pakistan, the price of a 12 kg LPG cylinder jumped 56% to 7,000 Pakistani rupees within days after two Iranian border crossings closed on 17 October, traders told Reuters. It shows how quickly LPG prices can jump when one supply route shuts. Our earlier report on Gulf LPG ships has more on how the Middle East crisis hit LPG shipping.
What it means for you
- Your domestic cylinder price stays the same for now. Book refills as normal.
- If you are an Ujjwala user in UP, complete Aadhaar authentication so you get the free refill.
- Commercial users already paid more in November. Falling crude alone will not cut that price before the next monthly revision.
- Read how past cuts worked in our commercial LPG price cut story.
What to watch next
- Whether crude holds below $95 or bounces back if US–Iran talks stall.
- Saudi Aramco’s December CP, usually announced at the end of the month.
- The next LPG price revision on 1 December 2026 at 6 AM.
