The BERC announced the new price, saying that a 12 kg LPG cylinder's price remains unchanged.
Prices of other sizes of LPG cylinders – from 5.5 kg to 45 kg – will go down accordingly, BERC said at a press briefing its Dhaka office this afternoon.
BERC officials said LPG price remains unchanged in the local market as Bangladeshi LPG operators normally import their products from the Middle-Eastern market on the basis of Saudi CP which did not change.
As per the BERC decision, the price of "auto gas" (LPG used for motor vehicles) also remained at Tk66.81 per litre (including VAT).
The price of LPG, marketed by state-owned LP Gas Company, will also remain the same as it is locally produced with a market share of less than 5%.
LPG witnessed the highest price at Tk1,498 (per 12 kg cylinder) in the local market in February last year.
