The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has increased the retail price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for February. The price of a 12-kilogram LPG cylinder has been raised by 50 taka to 1,356 taka. The new rate will take effect from 6 p.m. on Monday. Alongside, the price of autogas has also been increased by 2.34 taka per liter, setting the new consumer price at 62.14 taka per liter including VAT.

According to BERC Chairman Jalal Ahmed, the February adjustment follows the previous revision on January 4, when the price of a 12-kilogram LPG cylinder was raised by 53 taka to 1,306 taka. Similarly, autogas prices were last adjusted on January 4, when the rate was increased by 2.48 taka per liter to 59.80 taka per liter including VAT.

The latest price adjustment reflects BERC’s monthly review process for LPG and autogas rates, which are periodically revised based on market conditions and other regulatory considerations.
