12kg LPG cylinder price goes down by Tk 35

Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has lowered down the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for a 12kg cylinder by Tk 35.

With the revised price, a 12kg cylinder will now cost Tk 1,200 form October.

The new price rate will come into effect from 6pm on Sunday, BERC Chairman Abdul Jalil announced at a virtual press conference. 

The price of different quantities of LPG cylinders will be determined accordingly. 

The BERC said it adjusted the price after LPG prices went down in the global market. The price of LPG sold by state-owned LP Gas Limited remains unchanged.

The price of LPG (autogas) used in cars has also been adjusted downward and now auto gas will be sold at Tk 55.92 per litre, which was Tk 57.55 earlier. 

The BERC set the prices of LPG for the first time on April 12, 2021.
