The price of a 12.5 kg LPG cylinder supplied by the state-owned company remained unchanged at Tk 825. Meanwhile, the price of LPG, used as auto gas, has been reduced from Tk 86.93 to Tk 70.40 per litre.
BERC is fixing LPG prices from April 2021. Propane and butane, the two main components of LPG, are imported from different countries. Every month, Saudi Arabia’s Aramco publishes the prices of these two components, known as the Saudi contract price (CP).
BERC uses Saudi CP as a benchmark to adjust domestic LPG prices. It also calculates the monthly average exchange rate of the US dollar based on invoice values submitted by importing companies.
