Current vs Previous LP Gas and Autogas Prices
| Product | Previous Price | New Price | Price Reduction |
| 12 kg LP Gas Cylinder | BDT 1,364 (from 2 July) | BDT 1,273 | BDT 91 ↓ |
| Autogas (per litre) | BDT 62.46 (incl. VAT) | BDT 58.28 | BDT 4.18 ↓ |
Background of Price Adjustment
In the previous adjustment on 2 July, the BERC had:
- Reduced the price of a 12 kg LP gas cylinder by BDT 39, setting it at BDT 1,364.
- Decreased the price of autogas by BDT 1.84, fixing it at BDT 62.46 per litre (including VAT).
The latest reduction marks a continued effort by the regulatory authority to adjust fuel prices in alignment with market trends and global rates, thereby easing the burden on consumers.
