Last month, the price of a 12 kg LPG cylinder was Tk 1,341. In early April, the price was increased by Tk 387 to Tk 1,728. The latest adjustment has been made due to increased shipping costs due to the war.
BERC said that different sizes of LPG cylinders are available in the market. From now onwards the price of LPG has been fixed at Tk 161.66 per kg and prices of different sizes of cylinders will be determined accordingly.
The Commission decides the prices of LPG every month. However, LPG is not being sold in the market at the fixed rate. 12 kg LPG cylinder is most commonly used for domestic purposes. There are allegations that retailers are charging higher prices per cylinder.
