Liquefied Petroleum Gas, commonly known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas, has reached a record price of Rs500 per kilogram in Pakistan, marking the highest level ever in the country.
According to reports, many consumers say they are being charged up to Rs200 more than the officially announced rate, adding to the financial pressure during rising inflation.
Abdul Hadi Khan, Chairman of the LPG Distributors Association, expressed serious concern over the situation. He said that supply shortages in the market and high purchase costs for distributors are the main reasons behind the sharp increase in prices.
He also stated that the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority and relevant importers have not been able to control overpricing, which is making the situation worse across the country.
