The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has adjusted the retail price of private liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for March 2026 based on the Saudi CP for the month.
According to a press release issued yesterday (2 March), the retail price of private LPG, including VAT, has been set at Tk111.74 per kg. However, the price of a 12kg cylinder at the retailer level has been kept unchanged at Tk1,341.
The commission said the adjustment was made in line with its order dated 12 April 2021 (BERC Order No. 2021/01), issued following a High Court directive on 25 August 2020 in Writ Petition No 13683/2016 and under Sections 22(b) and 34 of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission Act, 2003. Since then, private LPG prices have been adjusted monthly in line with Saudi CP.
