Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) on Wednesday increased the prices of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by Rs10 per kg to Rs240 per kg.
As of now, the smaller cylinder used by domestic consumers will cost Rs2,830 while the large one designed for commercial purposes is priced at Rs10,900.
In far-flung and mountainous regions, the LGP price has increased to Rs370 per kg while the price of home LGP cylinder stood at Rs4,130.
The move comes as the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) a day earlier hiked the tariff for the Sui Northern Gas by 50 per cent and the Sui Southern Gas by 42pc on average.
LPG Association Chairman Irfan Khokar lamented that the government and OGRA were not taking any action against illegal selling of LPG across the country.
Earlier, sellers of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on Friday also called for a countrywide strike against the sale of the commodity at ‘expensive prices’.
