The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been increased by Rs3.68 per kilogram for February, bringing the new rate to Rs253.97 per kg.
Following the price hike, the cost of an 11.8kg domestic LPG cylinder has risen by Rs43.52, reaching Rs2,996.88, according to a notification issued by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).
The new prices will be effective across the country from February 1. The surge in LPG rates is expected to add to the financial burden on households that rely on LPG for cooking and heating.
