The retail price of the widely used 12-kg liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder has been increased by Tk 212, marking the second hike in just one month.
The new price has been set at Tk 1,940.
The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) announced the changes today (Sunday). The revised rates will take effect from 6 pm.
The commission also raised the pump price of auto-gas, LPG used in vehicles, by Tk 9.73 per litre to Tk 89.50 from Tk 79.77 last month.
In March, the price of a 12-kg LPG cylinder was Tk 1,341. At the beginning of April, the price was increased by Tk 387 to Tk 1,728. The latest adjustment has been made due to higher shipping costs caused by the war in the Middle East, according to BERC.
