आपके शहर में आज कितने का मिलेगा 14 किलो वाला सिलेंडर, जानें 18 जून को एलपीजी सस्ता हुआ या महंगा

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jun 18, 2026 | Business

LPG Price Today: तेल कंपनियों ने 18 जून के लिए घरेलू और कमर्शियल गैस सिलेंडर के ताजा रेट जारी कर दिए हैं. आज घरेलू LPG सिलेंडर की कीमतों में कोई नया बदलाव नहीं किया गया है. लेकिन अलग-अलग शहरों में टैक्स और ट्रांसपोर्टेशन लागत के कारण कीमतों में थोड़ा अंतर देखने को मिल सकता है. अगर आप आज गैस सिलेंडर बुक कराने की सोच रहे हैं तो पहले अपने शहर का नया भाव जरूर चेक कर लें.

शहर अनुसार गैस सिलेंडर का दाम-

शहर	घरेलू सिलेंडर की कीमत	कमर्शियल सिलेंडर की कीमत
दिल्ली	942.0 रुपये	3113.5 रुपये
मुंबई	941.5 रुपये	3067.5 रुपये
कोलकाता	968.0 रुपये	3256.0 रुपये
चेन्नई	957.5 रुपये	3283.0 रुपये
जयपुर	945.5 रुपये	3141.0 रुपये
नोएडा/गाजियाबाद	939.50 रुपये	3113.50 रुपये
पटना	1031.5 रुपये	3400.5 रुपये
भुवनेश्वर	968.0 रुपये	3290.5 रुपये
चंडीगढ़	951.5 रुपये	3136.0 रुपये

18 जून को बदले पेट्रोल-डीजल के दाम या मिली राहत? घर से निकलने से पहले चेक करें रेट

जून में महंगा हुआ था सिलेंडर

इस महीने की शुरुआत में घरेलू LPG सिलेंडर की कीमत में करीब 29 रुपये की बढ़ोतरी की गई थी. इसके बाद से ही लोगों को गैस सिलेंडर के लिए ज्यादा पैसे देने पड़ रहे हैं.

कमर्शियल सिलेंडर का क्या है हाल?

19 किलो वाले कमर्शियल LPG सिलेंडर के दाम भी जून में बढ़ाए गए थे. होटल, रेस्तरां और छोटे कारोबारियों पर इसका सीधा असर पड़ा है. हालांकि 18 जून को इसमें कोई नया बदलाव नहीं हुआ है.

32 बेडरूम और अंदर आलीशान झील, यह है चीन का सबसे महंगा घर, कौन है मालिक, कितनी है कीमत?

कैसे चेक करें अपने शहर का रेट?

इंडेन, भारत गैस और HP गैस के ग्राहक संबंधित कंपनी की वेबसाइट या मोबाइल ऐप के जरिए अपने शहर के ताजा LPG रेट चेक कर सकते हैं. सिलेंडर बुक करने से पहले रेट देख लेना हमेशा फायदेमंद रहता है.

क्यों बढ़ते-घटते हैं LPG के दाम?

एलपीजी की कीमतें अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में गैस की कीमत, डॉलर-रुपये की विनिमय दर, आयात लागत और सरकारी नीतियों पर निर्भर करती हैं. यही वजह है कि समय-समय पर गैस सिलेंडर के दाम बदलते रहते हैं.

NSE IPO may push exchange into India’s top 10 companies by market value

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jun 18, 2026 | Business

The proposed NSE’s IPO, expected to be around Rs 30,000 crore, is being seen as a major milestone for India’s capital markets.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is likely to enter the league of India’s 10 most-valued listed companies on its stock market debut, based on its valuation in the unlisted market.

The exchange’s proposed IPO is estimated at around Rs 30,000 crore, with market participants valuing NSE at over Rs 5 lakh crore in the unlisted space.

At this valuation, NSE could rank among the country’s top-10 listed firms by market capitalisation, surpassing several blue-chip companies.

Given its estimated valuation, NSE would rank ahead of Infosys, which has a market capitalisation of Rs 4.7 lakh crore as on Wednesday.

NSE valuation places it alongside major blue-chip firms

Among companies in the Rs 5 lakh crore bracket, Bajaj Finance commands a market capitalisation of about Rs 5.96 lakh crore, followed by Larsen & Toubro at Rs 5.78 lakh crore, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) at Rs 5.28 lakh crore and Hindustan Unilever at Rs 5.16 lakh crore, data with the exchanges showed.

No listed company currently has a market value in the Rs 6 lakh crore to Rs 7 lakh crore range. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) commands a market capitalisation of Rs 8 lakh crore.

As of June 17, Reliance Industries remained India’s most valuable company, commanding a market capitalisation of over Rs 18 lakh crore. This was followed by HDFC Bank at Rs 12.11 lakh crore.

Bharti Airtel has a market capitalisation of Rs 11.43 lakh crore, and ICICI Bank has a market capitalisation of Rs 9.6 lakh crore.

IPO expected to draw global investor interest

NSE’s draft papers filing marks a significant milestone for Indian capital markets and is expected to attract strong interest from global investors.

“NSE’s proposed DRHP filing is a landmark development for Indian markets and is likely to be viewed by international investors as a high-quality opportunity to participate in India’s financial market infrastructure story. NSE represents scale, technology, liquidity and institutional trust,” Mrugank Paranjape – Managing Partner, MCQube, said.

Listing to offer direct participation in India’s market infrastructure growth

The bourse, which dominates equity and derivatives trading in India, has long been among the country’s most valuable unlisted entities.

Its listing is expected to provide investors an opportunity to participate directly in the growth of India’s largest stock exchange operator.

Federal reserve holds rates steady as officials split over future hikes amid rising inflation

Federal Reserve officials left interest rates unchanged and were split over whether they expect to raise rates this year.

Policymakers’ new projections indicated nine officials foresee at least one quarter-point hike this year, with six anticipating at least two. Another nine expected no move or a cut.

Notably, only 18 officials out of 19 entered their projections for rates at the end of 2026. The absence of an entry suggests new Chairman Kevin Warsh, who has been critical of so-called forward guidance, declined to submit a rate forecast.

In its first gathering under Warsh’s leadership, the Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to hold its benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%.

The decision marked the fourth straight time officials held rates in place as they continue to shift their concerns from the labor market to inflation, driven in part by the impact of the Iran war on energy prices.

In their post-meeting statement, officials said inflation remained elevated and vowed to deliver price stability.

They continued to characterize growth as “solid.” Officials also described productivity growth and capital investment as strong.

The statement was also shorter than recent post-meeting releases. Its brevity could be a sign of things to come under Warsh, who has promised to shake up the central bank’s communication strategy.

In what may be the most eagerly anticipated debut of a Fed chair in many decades, Warsh is scheduled to hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. in Washington.

He is under pressure to deliver a credible message to investors on managing inflation that has re-accelerated. Yet that may conflict with the expectations of President Donald Trump, who, in weighing candidates for the job, repeatedly said he wanted a Fed chief who would lower interest rates.

Inflation Forecasts Jump

Policymakers made several adjustments to the economic forecasts they issued in March, soon after the Middle East conflict began.

Policymakers’ median forecast for inflation this year jumped to 3.6% from 2.7%. Their forecast for 2026 core inflation — which excludes volatile food and energy categories — increased, as well, to 3.3% from 2.7%.

Officials lowered their median outlook for growth in 2026 to 2.2%, from the 2.4% they forecast in March. Their median unemployment forecast for the end of 2026 fell to 4.3% from 4.4%.

Shifting Backdrop

The economic backdrop for policymakers has shifted dramatically from the beginning of the year when fragility in the labor market and a more benign outlook for inflation made additional rate cuts in 2026 plausible to many Fed officials.

Since then, strong jobs has suggested the labor market is pulling clear of a long period of weak hiring growth. Job creation topped all forecasts in May and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%.

At the same time, an April report on prices showed the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation hit 3.8% from a year earlier, the largest increase since 2023. Separate measures of consumer and producer prices also rose in May at the fastest pace in more than three years.

That’s driven not only by the Iran war but also by price pressures spilling over from the surge of investment by companies building out the infrastructure for artificial intelligence.

Still, news of a preliminary peace deal between the US and Iran has sent oil prices tumbling. If the agreement holds, that could take substantial pressure off of energy costs and inflation.

At the start of the year investors had been betting on a resumption of Fed rate cuts this year. But heading into the June meeting, pricing in federal funds futures pointed to a quarter percentage point increase in rates by the end of 2026.

NSE files DRHP with SEBI, revives IPO plan for Rs 30,000 crore listing

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) late Wednesday, reviving its public listing plans after nearly a decade of regulatory delays.

The proposed initial public offering (IPO) consists entirely of an offer for sale of up to 148.9 million equity shares, or nearly 6 per cent stake, by existing institutional shareholders, with no fresh equity issue. Based on the exchange’s unlisted market valuation of about ₹5 lakh crore, the issue size is estimated to be up to ₹30,000 crore.

The IPO is intended to enhance visibility and brand image, provide liquidity to shareholders, and create a public market for the shares in India, according to a public filing by the country’s largest stock exchange.

SBI, global investors among key sellers in mega OFS

Among the top-selling shareholders are State Bank of India, which will offload 24.75 million shares, followed by MS Strategic (Mauritius) Ltd with 16 million shares, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board with 11.87 million shares, and Aranda Investments (Mauritius) Pte Ltd with 11.25 million shares.

Bank of Baroda and Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd. are selling nearly 11 million shares each. General Insurance Corporation of India will offload 10.66 million shares, while The New India Assurance Company will sell 10.5 million shares. National Insurance Company and United India Insurance Company will each offload 6 million shares.

NSE will receive no proceeds; LIC stays out of offer

NSE will not receive any proceeds from the offer. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), the exchange’s largest shareholder, is not participating in the offer-for-sale.

Kotak Mahindra Capital Co., Citigroup Global Markets India, JM Financial and Morgan Stanley India Co. are among the list of 20 book-running lead managers for the share sale.

Regulatory nod clears path for one of India’s biggest listings

The filing follows receipt of a no-objection certificate from the markets regulator earlier this year to proceed with the IPO. The NSE board subsequently approved the IPO proposal on February 6. Since an Indian stock exchange cannot list its own shares on its own platform, NSE lists its shares on its rival exchange, BSE, which has been listed since 2017.

NSE, the world’s most active derivatives exchange, had first attempted to list back in 2016. Those plans have since held up due to regulatory action related to co-location and dark fibre.

Over the past few years, the exchange has sought to remove the regulatory overhang by settling certain cases and strengthening its governance standards. NSE is still awaiting the final settlement of the colocation and dark fibre matter, for which it has made provisions in its books of accounts.

Once SEBI reviews the draft papers and issues its observations, the exchange can proceed with the launch of the public issue, subject to market conditions. The listing is expected to be among the biggest ever by an Indian company and would finally bring the country’s largest stock exchange to the public markets after years of uncertainty.
