LPG prices rise

ISLAMABAD: Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) marketing companies have increased prices by Rs7 per kilogramme, adding to double-digit inflation. As a result of what the distributors’ association described as an “illegal increase, prices of domestic cylinders have been increased by Rs80 and commercial cylinders by Rs320 in a short period of time.

After the increase, LPG prices in Islamabad, Peshawar and Multan are Rs107 per kg while those in Karachi and Hyderabad are at Rs90 per kg.

The hike is announced a day before the National Assembly’s standing committee on petroleum and natural resources is due to take up the issue on Wednesday.

alok | 13 years ago | Reply Use free solar passive infinite heat and light energy instead of other costly energy sources. By a solar cooker you can get energy at 19 times cheaper cost than LPG and kerosene. So kindly use free infinite green solar thermal and light energy directly by solar cooker , water heater, food dehydrators, water purifiers, distillers, solar windows , swimming pool heater , steam makers etc etc. Come on Pak use this free energy which you get 2 times more than India on per capita basis. Every Pak brother and sister gets 10 million kwh free green solar thermal energy each year as against his or her average total energy consumption of 1000 kwh per year only. Show the way to we Indians and other SAARCian also. I could use my solitary solar cooker to make 6 dishes in last 2 days for lunch as my without wasting any time for cooking or money for energy.
