The state-run Petrobangla recently sought margins from the gas price to help supplement its operating costs and carry out regular work.
The Petrobangla and the Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Company Ltd (RPGCL) made the push during the last day of public hearing over tariff hike.
The Petrobangla sought Tk 0.23 per cubic meter (cm) from blended gas, meaning the mixture of locally-produced gas and imported re-gasified LNG (liquefied natural gas).
Also, the RPGCL sought Tk 0.40 per cm from the imported LNG price.
The state entities made their case with the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC), saying their costs would increase significantly due to the import of LNG, its re-gasification and supply to consumers.
