Pakistanis have been hit hard by a massive increase in LPG prices, with a surge of Rs50 per kg in June 2024.

According to the Chairman of the LPG Distributors Association, despite the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) setting the official price at Rs234.60 per kg, market prices have risen to Rs280-285 per kg.

Consequently, the price of a domestic LPG cylinder has jumped by Rs600, now costing Rs3,370, while commercial cylinders are now selling for over Rs12,435 in Pakistan.
