The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been revised, and prices increase for domestic cylinders across Pakistan. The new rates take effect for the first half of February 2026.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) issued an official notification confirming the prices increase. LPG has been raised by Rs6.37 per kilogram. Following the revision, the price of domestic LPG cylinders has gone up by Rs75.21.
After the adjustment, the cost of an 11.8-kilogram household LPG cylinder is now Rs2,667.40. The new rate per kilogram stands at Rs184.79. Authorities said the revision is necessary due to changes in global LPG prices and distribution costs.
Analysts warn that this increase could affect household budgets, as LPG remains a primary cooking fuel across Pakistan. Consumers are being urged to adjust spending accordingly.
In addition to LPG, fuel prices may also see changes in the coming weeks. The government is considering raising taxes on petrol to offset a likely rise of nearly Rs10 per litre in diesel prices. This step is aimed at controlling inflation, especially in transport and agriculture sectors.
Crude oil prices have inched up due to regional tensions, impacting diesel and kerosene rates. Estimates suggest ex-depot prices of high-speed diesel could rise by about Rs9.50 per litre, while kerosene and LDO may see increases of up to Rs7 per litre. Petrol prices may fall slightly, by around 40 paisa per litre.
Authorities are considering shifting part of the diesel burden to petrol through a higher petroleum levy. Officials say this move will help manage inflation while keeping essential fuel supplies stable.
The latest prices increase for LPG is the first adjustment of 2026. OGRA has asked distributors to ensure the new rates are implemented promptly and consumers are informed. Households are advised to stay updated with official notifications to avoid overpayment.
