ISLAMABAD – The price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was slashed by Rs20 per kilogramme after relations between Pakistan and Iran normalised.
LGP Distributors Association Chairman Irfan Khokhar said the per kg price of the LPG has been decreased to Rs280 from previous rate of Rs300/kg.
Similarly, the prices of domestic cylinder of 11.8kg and commercial cylinder have been decreased by Rs230 and Rs900, respectively, he said, adding that further dip is expected in the LGP prices.
