The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) on Sunday, August 31, 2025, officially announced a reduction in the price of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) for the month of September.

According to the notification, OGRA has set the per kg price of LPG at Rs214.19, down from Rs215.37 — a decrease of Rs1.18 per kg since last month.

The price for an 11.8kg cylinder was set at Rs2,527.47 — making a cylinder Rs13.89 cheaper than the month prior.

OGRA stated that the new prices of LPG are effective from September 1 onwards.

“The LPG producer price is linked with Saudi Aramco-CP and the US dollar exchange rate,” OGRA stated

“As compared to the previous month, Saudi Aramco-CP remains unchanged. The average dollar exchange rate has slightly decreased by 0.69pc, resulting in a decrease in LPG consumer price by Rs13.89 per 11.8 kg cylinder (0.54pc).”

Previously, last month, the price of LPG was set at Rs215.37 per kg for August, down from Rs233.10 in July — a decrease of Rs17.73 per kg. Consequently, the price of an 11.8kg domestic cylinder was fixed at Rs2,541.36.

On the other hand, the federal government has kept petrol prices unchanged, Rs264.61, and high-speed diesel (HSD) saw a price reduction of Rs3, as the new price is Rs269.99 per litre from Rs272.99.
