LPG Price The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced a reduction of Rs5.88 per kilogram in the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for November 2025, offering a small but welcome relief to consumers as winter approaches.
According to the official notification issued on Thursday, the new LPG rate has been fixed at Rs201.60 per kilogram, compared to the previous month’s Rs207.48. The revised price took effect from November 1, 2025, across Pakistan.
New Cylinder Prices Announced
The latest adjustment means that both domestic and commercial LPG cylinders will now cost slightly less.
As per OGRA’s notification:
- The 11.8 kg domestic cylinder will now be sold for Rs2,377, reflecting a decrease of Rs69.38.
- The 45.4 kg commercial cylinder will cost Rs9,130, down by approximately Rs267.
OGRA said the new prices were determined based on international LPG benchmarks set by Saudi Aramco, along with freight charges, local taxes, and marketing margins.

Why the Price Dropped
Energy experts link the latest price cut to a decline in global LPG prices and a relatively stable Pakistani rupee in recent weeks.
According to market analysts, international LPG prices fell due to lower demand in Europe and East Asia, which helped OGRA adjust domestic rates downward.
An energy consultant based in Karachi told Zebialerts.com that the current adjustment is “a reflection of global market cooling”, but warned that prices could rise again in December as demand spikes during winter.
“The cut is small, but it’s important for low-income families who depend entirely on LPG for cooking and heating,” he added.
Relief for Households, But Challenges Remain
For millions of households across Pakistan — especially in rural, northern, and hilly regions — LPG remains the primary source of fuel.
With the ongoing gas shortages in major cities and limited pipeline access in remote areas, LPG has become a lifeline.
Consumers say the new price will bring some breathing space, but the overall cost of living remains high.
A resident of Abbottabad shared, “The price drop is good news, but we still spend a big portion of our income on gas and groceries. Every rupee matters right now.”
Retail distributors also note that the actual benefit may vary slightly in different cities due to transportation and dealer margin differences, which often raise retail prices above official levels.
OGRA’s Role and Market Oversight
OGRA reviews LPG prices every month, aligning domestic rates with international contract prices (CP) and exchange rate variations.
The authority has urged distributors to adhere strictly to the new notified rates, warning that action will be taken against anyone found overcharging customers.
In recent months, OGRA has tightened oversight of the LPG market to prevent hoarding, black marketing, and unfair pricing practices.
Officials emphasize that fair regulation is essential, especially as Pakistan faces ongoing energy challenges and rising demand for alternative fuels.
What It Means for Consumers
Although the Rs5.88 per kilogram reduction may seem minor, it represents a positive step for struggling households heading into the cold months.
Energy costs have been a major contributor to inflation, and even modest adjustments can make a difference for families already dealing with tight budgets.
