LPG prices have risen again across the country, with consumers reporting that liquefied petroleum gas is being sold in different markets for Rs370 to Rs410 per kilogram, far above the official rate of Rs241 per kilogram. The widening gap between the official and market rates has further strained household budgets, especially at a time when inflation is already putting pressure on middle-income families.

Consumers said the continuing increase in LPG prices has made daily expenses harder to manage.

Many buyers complained that LPG is not available at the notified rate, forcing them to purchase it at higher market prices.

They said the situation has left families with little choice but to pay more for an essential fuel used widely for cooking.

Consumers have urged the government to ensure LPG is sold at the official rate of Rs241 per kilogram, take strict action against hoarding and profiteering, and provide immediate relief to the public.
