LPG Prices: Fixed but not enforced | The Daily Star

Consumers are being compelled to buy liquified petroleum gas (LPG) at a much higher price than the one set by the regulator.
The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) on April 29 re-fixed the retail price of 12kg LPG cylinders at Tk 906 each for the current month and directed distributors and retailers to implement the new price. 
But even a week after the regulator's decision, the new prices have not been implemented. Defying the directives given by the BERC, retailers were selling LPG at at least Tk 100-250 more than its fixed price.
A 12kg LPG cylinder was being sold between Tk 1,050-1,150 at different retail points across the country. As a result, ordinary and low-income people, who have already been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, are struggling to buy LPG.
