Consumers across Pakistan are facing a fresh blow to their monthly budgets as the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) announced a price hike for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) effective for the month of August 2026.

Revised Rates and Cylinder Costs

According to the notification issued by the regulatory body, LPG prices have been increased by Rs12.89 per kilogram. Under the newly revised rate sheet:

• Per Kilogram Price: Now set at Rs254.32 per kg.
• Household Cylinder (11.8 kg): The price of a standard domestic cylinder has now crossed the threshold, priced at Rs3,000.92.
•  

Impact on Households and Small Businesses

This latest upward revision is expected to further strain household expenses, particularly for families dependent on LPG for cooking and heating where piped natural gas is unavailable. Additionally, small businesses—including local eateries, roadside vendors, and commercial workshops reliant on LPG for daily operations—will experience increased operating costs amidst ongoing inflationary pressures.

The current pricing structure will remain in effect throughout August unless intervening market adjustments dictate otherwise.
