LPG price cut by Tk 2.30 per kg in June as global rates fall

Regulator lowers autogas price by Tk 1.27 per litre and revises all cylinder rates across sizes

The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been reduced by Tk 2.30 per kg for June, following a decline in international market rates.

The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) announced the new rates on Monday, with the revised prices coming into effect from 6pm the same day.

According to BERC, the average contract price of propane and butane set by Saudi Aramco--used as the global reference-- stands at $580.50 per tonne for June, down from $597 in May.

Based on that index, the per-kg retail price of LPG has been adjusted to Tk 116.94, down from Tk 119.24 in May.

Autogas prices have also been lowered. The rate has been fixed at Tk 64.30 per litre, a reduction of Tk 1.27 from last month’s Tk 65.57.

Gas supplied through the reticulated system has been priced at Tk 113.19 per kg for June.

The BERC has also revised cylinder rates across sizes. Under the new pricing:

12kg cylinder is now Tk 1,403

15kg at Tk 1,754

20kg at Tk 2,339

25kg at Tk 2,924

30kg at Tk 3,508

45kg at Tk 5,262

The price adjustment reflects international market shifts that impact local retail rates set by the regulator each month.
