Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has reduced the retail price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) of private companies.

According to the new rate, a 12kg LPG cylinder will be sold at Tk 904, which local market price is Tk 975.  The new rate will be made effective from May 1.  The price of this fuel gas has been reduced as its price has also fallen remarkably in the global market.

BERC announced the new price at a virtual press conference on Thursday (April 29).

BERC Chairman Abdul Jalil, Members Mohammad Abu Faruk, Mokbul E Elahi, Bazlur Rahman and Kamruzzaman, Secretary Rubina Ferdousi and other senior officers were present.

However, the commission did not re-fix the price of the LPG gas sold by the state-owned Liquid Petroleum Gas Ltd (LPGL).  The current price of the 12.5kg LPG cylinder sold by LPGL is Tk 591. The new price of LPG used in cars is Tk 44.70 per liter. Earlier, it was Tk 47.92.

BERC Chairman Abdul Jalil said they have re-fixed the price as per the new rate of the Saudi contract price for May.
