Govt hikes LPG prices by Rs6.99 per kg

Islamabad: The federal government on Saturday increased the prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for September 2024.

The new move added more financial burden on the public already suffering from the sky-rocketing inflation. An official notification was issued.

The price per kilogram of LPG went up by Rs6.99, leading to Rs82.54 rise for a standard domestic cylinder.

As a result, the cost of a domestic LPG cylinder will now be Rs2,879.10, up from Rs2,796.56 in August.

The new prices will be effective from September 1, 2024.

The price increase is expected to further burden household budgets, especially for those who rely on the LPG as their primary cooking fuel.
