LPG price for May unchanged at Tk1,940 for 12kg cylinder

The Bangladesh Energy
Regulatory Commission (Berc) has kept the price of a 12kg liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG) cylinder unchanged at Tk1,940 for May 2026, despite adjustments in
benchmark international prices.
In a press release issued
today (3 May), the regulator said the retail price of private LPG at the
consumer level has been set at Tk161.71 per kg, inclusive of VAT.
Based on this rate, the price
of a 12kg cylinder remains unchanged from the previous month of April.
The price adjustment has been
made in line with the Saudi Aramco Contract Price (CP) for May, which was fixed
at $750 per tonne for propane and $800 per tonne for butane.
The weighted average CP
stands at $782.50 per tonne, with an exchange rate of Tk123 per US dollar taken
into account.
The price of liquid LPG has
been set at Tk157.96 per kg, while gaseous LPG has been fixed at Tk351 per
cubic metre.
Meanwhile, the price of
autogas has been adjusted to Tk89.52 per litre for May.
The regulator said prices of
different cylinder sizes, ranging from 5.5kg to 45kg, have also been adjusted
proportionately in line with the per-kg rate.
For state-run LPG, the price
remains unchanged at Tk776.93 for a 12.5kg cylinder at the dealer or retailer
level, as per a previous order issued on 23 February 2026.
The new prices come into
effect from 6pm today.
