The price of autogas — the LPG used in motor vehicles — has also been reduced by Tk1.38 per litre, bringing it down to Tk56.77 at the consumer level for October.
In September, the price of autogas was set at Tk58.15 per litre, including VAT, after a slight cut of Tk0.13.
According to BERC, the October adjustment is based on Saudi Aramco's CP for propane and butane, set at $495 and $475 per tonne respectively.
Using a 35:65 ratio of propane to butane, the average CP was calculated at $482 per metric tonne, which guided the latest price revision for private LPG and autogas in the local market.
