Desk Report: The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been hiked today. Retail consumers will have to pay an additional Tk 1.91 per kg of LPG from 6 pm today.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) announced the new price, saying that retail consumers will now have to play Tk 1,404 (VAT included) for a 12 kg cylinder of LPG. The previous price of a 12 kg LPG cylinder was Tk 1,381.<\/p>\n
LPG price has increased to Tk 117.02 per kg for the month of December, from Tk 115.09 in November, said BERC.<\/p>\n
Prices of other LPG cylinders \u2013 from 5.5 kg to 45 kg \u2013 will go up rationally, Md Nurul Amin, chairman of BERC, said on Sunday at a press briefing at the BERC office in Dhaka.<\/p>\n
As per the BERC decision, the price of \u201cauto gas\u201d (LPG used for motor vehicles) also increased to Tk Tk 64.43 per litre (including VAT) from Tk 63.36 per litre.<\/p>\n
The price of LPG, marketed by the state-owned LP Gas Company, will remain the same as it is locally produced with a market share of less than 5 percent.<\/p>\n
BERC officials said LPG price will witness an increase in the local market due to increase in the prices of Saudi CP (contract price).<\/p>\n
Bangladeshi LPG operators normally import their products from the Middle-eastern market on the basis of Saudi CP.<\/p>\n
LPG witnessed the highest price at Tk 1,498 (per 12 kg cylinder) in the local market in February this year following the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in February last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
