State company proposes Tk410 increase in LPG price

Bangla Press Desk:   The state-owned LP Gas Limited has proposed increasing the price of a 12.5 kg LPG cylinder by Tk410, raising the price to Tk 1,235.

According to the company, the proposal was submitted because the price of state-supplied LPG is lower than that of privately supplied LPG, leading to incidents of cross-filling in the market.

Managing Director of LP Gas Limited, Md. Yusuf Hossain Bhuiyan, confirmed the matter to the media. 

He said the proposal was submitted based on recommendations from the price determination committee of Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC).

Earlier, on September 15, 2025, the BPC-owned Bangladesh LP Gas Limited had also proposed increasing the price of a 12.5 kg cylinder from Tk825 to Tk925. 

At that time, the company cited several reasons for the proposed hike, including the need to prevent cross-filling, rising local transportation costs at the dealer level, higher operational expenses, and increased service charges.

However, the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) rejected that proposal. Source: daily Sun
