The LPG Marketing Association termed smuggling or under-invoiced imports from Iran a threat to the organised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector and public health in Pakistan
“The price of LPG is determined by producers and not marketing companies. Technically, the government fixes the LPG rates as 63 per cent of the gas produced is sold by public sector companies,” the Association’s chairman Farooq Iftikhar and other members told media.
The distributors’ margin included transportation of LPG from the producers’ field and filling it in cylinders. Distributors get cylinders from marketing companies, transport them to their premises and sell them to retailers.
