The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) announced on Sunday that the retail price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will remain unchanged for May. According to the commission, the price of a 12-kilogram LPG cylinder will stay at 1,940 taka. The decision took effect from 6 p.m. on the same day. BERC stated this in an official notice issued on May 3, 2026.

The commission had adjusted LPG prices twice in April. On April 2, the price of a 12-kilogram cylinder was increased by 387 taka to 1,728 taka, and again on April 19, it was raised by 212 taka to reach the current 1,940 taka. Meanwhile, BERC slightly increased the price of autogas by 0.02 taka per liter, setting it at 89.52 taka per liter including VAT for May.

Autogas prices were also revised twice in April, first on April 2 and then on April 19, when the rate rose to 89.50 taka per liter. The latest adjustment marks a minimal increase for May, reflecting a stabilization in LPG pricing after consecutive hikes last month.
