Pakistan cuts LPG prices by 1.88% for June

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan slashed liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices by 1.88 per cent for June 2025, citing a drop in international rates, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority said Saturday.

The government-revised price stands at Rs240.54 per kilogram, down Rs4.62 from Rs245.16/kg in May, according to an OGRA notification. The price cut reflects a 2.61 per cent fall in the Saudi Aramco Contract Price (CP) — the benchmark for LPG in Pakistan — partly offset by a 0.35 per cent rise in the rupee-dollar exchange rate.

Following the adjustment, the cost of an 11.8-kilogram LPG cylinder has declined by Rs54.60 to Rs2,838. The price of a 45.4-kilogram commercial cylinder is now Rs10,920, compared to Rs11,130 last month.

The regulator said consumer prices are sensitive to both the international benchmark and currency movements, as Pakistan relies on imported LPG to meet growing demand. Any fluctuation in the global oil market or local exchange rate directly affects domestic pricing.
