The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been increased again at the consumer level, with the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) raising the price of a 12kg LPG cylinder by Tk50 for February.
According to a BERC announcement issued on Monday afternoon, the new price of a 12kg LPG cylinder has been fixed at Tk1,356, up from Tk1,306. The revised price will come into effect from 6pm.
BERC Chairman Jalal Ahmed said the latest adjustment was made as part of the commission’s regular monthly price review mechanism.
The last LPG price adjustment was made on 4 January, when the price of a 12kg cylinder was increased by Tk53 to Tk1,306.
At the same time, BERC has also increased the price of autogas. For February, the retail price of autogas, including VAT, has been raised by Tk2.34 to Tk62.14 per litre.
On 4 January, the commission had last revised autogas prices, increasing them by Tk2.48 to Tk59.80 per litre at the consumer level.
BERC adjusts LPG and autogas prices on a monthly basis, considering changes in global market prices and other relevant factors.
