The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission has raised the
price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) per 12kg cylinder by Tk12.
From now, 12 kg container will be sold at Tk 1254 instead of
Tk 1242 (May, 2022) from 6 pm Sunday.
The other quantity containers of LPG from 5 kg to 45 kg will
rationally be sold at per the new rates, said BERC chairman Abdul Jalil.
As per announcement, the price of auto gas for motor
vehicles has been increased l to Tk 58.46 per litre instead earlier Tk 57.91
per litre.
Abdul Jalil said though the price of LPG has come down on
the international market, the price has increased locally due to higher price
of US Dollar.
Last month US Dollar price was Tk 85 while this month Dollar
price was calculated at Tk 93.50.
Jalil said the price of LPG, marketed by the state-owned LP
Gas Company, will have no effect as it is locally produced with a market share
of less than 5 percent.
The LPG price had gone up to the highest Tk 1439 (12 kg) in
the local market following the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in February this
year.
The LPG price was lowest at Tk 1225 for 12 kg in January
this year and it witnessed continuous hike in price in February, March and
April.
Abdul Jalil said that globally the price of Saudi CP
(contract price) has declined.
Bangladeshi private LPG operators mainly import the gas from
the Middle East market based on Saudi CP.
The BERC, for the first time, fixed the retail-level LPG
prices on April 12 after holding a public hearing to comply with a High Court
order.
