Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) today adjusted upward the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) saying from now on the widely used 12 kilogram (Kg) LPG cylinder would be sold to consumers at Tk.1,306 instead of Tk. 1,253.
“The newly fixed price of LPG is Tk.1,306, which will be effective from January 4 and all licensees of LPG marketing companies will implement the price,” BERC chairman Jalal Ahmed told a media announcement.
He said the prices of all the 13 different sizes of LPG-filled cylinders were readjusted for January in line with new price adjustments by Saudi Arabia-based Aramco that sets the contract price or CP for LPG at the beginning of each month for term contracts.
According to BERC records, the LPG price was Tk.1,253 for 12-kg cylinder in December, Tk.1,215 in November, Tk.1,241 in October, Tk.1,284 in September, Tk.1,140 in August and Tk.999 in July last year.
The BERC also re-fixed auto gas price at Tk.59.80 per liter, which was Tk.57.32 in December.
Under the price readjustment per kilogram of LPG at reticulated stage would be Tk.105.08 at private sector retailer level inclusive VAT, which was Tk.100.66 and Tk.233.50 per cubic meter of supplied LPG in gas system owned by private sector, which was Tk.223.80 in December, 2025.
As per BERC decision, new price at private sector retailer level, 12.5 kg LPG has been refixed at Tk.1,360 at retailer level, 15 kg at Tk.1,633, 16 kg at Tk.1,742, 18 kg at Tk.1,959, 20 kg at Tk.2,176, 22 kg at Tk.2,395, 25 kg at Tk.2,721, 30 kg at Tk.3,265, 33 kg at Tk.3,592, 35 kg at Tk.3,809 and 45 kg at Tk.4,898.
