The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has increased the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by Rs14.73 per kilogram, pushing the price of a domestic cylinder to Rs3,470.
According to an official notification issued by OGRA, the revised LPG prices will take effect across the country from November 1. The increase will affect both domestic and commercial consumers.
Under the revised rates, the price of an 11.8-kilogram domestic LPG cylinder has been increased by Rs173.86, bringing its new price to Rs3,470.09 for November.
In October, the same domestic cylinder was available for Rs3,296.23.
According to OGRA documents, the producer price of LPG has also been increased by Rs14,733.98 per tonne. Following the revision, the producer price for November has been fixed at Rs252,775.47 per tonne.
Meanwhile, the overall LPG price for consumers has risen to Rs294,075.47 per tonne.
The increase comes ahead of the winter season, when demand for LPG generally rises. The latest price hike is expected to add to the financial difficulties of low- and middle-income households that rely on LPG for their cooking and heating needs.
LPG associations announce nationwide strike from Nov 16
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) associations in Karachi have announced a nationwide strike from November 16 (Monday).
The associations have warned that businesses across the country will shut down if the government does not accept their demands within 15 days.
According to the Chairman of the LPG Marketers Association, Ali Haider, the government’s new pricing formula could increase prices by 25 to 30 per cent.
He said the government plans to set LPG prices across the country based on the cost of gas imported by sea, even though around 90 per cent of the gas is transported through bowsers.
Ali Haider added that the new formula would also increase the price of locally produced liquefied petroleum gas, which makes up around 30 per cent of the country’s total supply.
The official LPG price in Pakistan for November 2026 has been set at Rs294.07 per kilogram, following an increase of Rs14.73 per kg by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).
Earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif constituted an eight-member ministerial committee to review a set of policy changes proposed by the Petroleum Division for liquefied petroleum gas.
The proposed reforms would allow state-owned companies to import LPG and set its prices, which would then be passed on to private companies.
