Islamabad - Households across Pakistan will experience higher LPG expenses starting October following the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority's (OGRA) announcement of a significant price surge. The regulatory body has raised the price of LPG per kilogram and the standard domestic and commercial cylinder, with the LPG cost per kilogram increasing by Rs20.68.
Moreover, the price of an 11.8kg domestic LPG cylinder has also gone up by Rs244.14, resulting in a new price of Rs3,296.23. This means households that rely on LPG for cooking and other domestic requirements will have to bear higher costs from October. The latest increase comes at a time when demand for household heating and cooking fuel is expected to surge ahead of the winter season.
Coupled with already inflated petrol prices, the latest hike could place additional financial strain on household budgets and potentially make essential goods more costly due to heightened transportation and distribution expenses.
