LPG prices to remain stable in December

Staff Reporter :

The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Bangladesh will remain unchanged for December, as announced by the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC). The per-kilogram cost of LPG is set at Tk 121.25, consistent with the previous month.

The updated pricing will take effect at 6 PM on December 3, 2024, maintaining stability in household and commercial fuel expenses for the month.

BERC announced the new price, saying that a 12 kg LPG cylinder’s price remains unchanged. Prices of other sizes of LPG cylinders – from 5.5 kg to 45 kg – will ramian the same, BERC said at a press briefing on Tuesday at its Dhaka office.

BERC officials said LPG price remains unchanged in the local market as Bangladeshi LPG operators normally import their products from the Middle-Eastern market on the basis of Saudi CP which did not change.

As per the BERC decision, the price of “auto gas” (LPG used for motor vehicles) also remained at Tk 66.81 per litre (including VAT).

The price of LPG, marketed by state-owned LP Gas Company, will also remain the same as it is locally produced with a market share of less than 5 percent.

LPG witnessed the highest price at Tk 1,498 (per 12 kg cylinder) in the local market in February last year.
