November 1, 2018 (MLN): Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has reduced the price of Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by Rs. 15, bringing the final price to Rs. 127 per kg.
The price for Residential consumers was reduced by Rs. 165, whereas the price for Commercial users reduced by Rs. 673 per cylinder.
Following the price reduction as per notification of the authority, Chairman of All Pakistan LPG Distributors Association Irfan Khokhar said domestic cylinder would be sold at Rs1,509 instead of Rs1,673 and commercial cylinder would be available at Rs5,805 instead of Rs6,478 across the the country.
Describing the price slash ‘significant,’ he said downward revision in rates of LPG was possible due to prudent policies of the present government.
This winter, he expressed confidence that consumers would get uninterrupted supply of LPG especially in far flung areas at controlled rates.
He appreciated the government for effectively tackling the ‘mafia’, who had been making money by black-marketing the commodity in peak winter season.
The chairman warned that strict action would be taken against those distributors, who would be found involved in black-marketing and selling the commodity in violation of the notified rates.
