For the third time in a week, marketing companies have increased the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by Rs45 per kg on the pretext of increase in demand due to winter.
“The prices of LPG have been increased by Rs10 to Rs20 per kg despite the fact that neither the public sector producers increased per kg price nor the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) issued any notification in this regard,” LPG Distributors Association Chairman Irfan Khokhar claimed yesterday.
In Karachi, the price of domestic cylinder would be Rs1,510 and Rs130 per kg. In Lahore, Gujran-wala, Gujrat, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Hyderabad and Sukkur, the price of domestic cylinder would be Rs1,750 and one kg at Rs150.
