The regulatory framework for the LPG sector is overseen by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), which plays a crucial role in ensuring fair pricing. Still, it is continuously failing to secure official prices all over the country. There are a lot of cases where small shopkeepers and dealers are selling LPG at very high rates, even in urban areas. The government started cracking down against them but at a very small scale as people can be seen complaining everywhere about high and unofficial prices by the sellers.
Below is the screenshot of the notification issued by OGRA for LPG prices of the current month.

Factors Influencing LPG Prices in Pakistan
Factors influencing LPG rate in Pakistan include both local and global dynamics. Some of them are discussed below:
Crude Oil Prices: One of the most important factors is the cost of crude oil in the international market, as the LPG is derived from it. A number of geo-political factors can affect the crude oil supply and demand globally. The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.
Refining Cost: We need to refine crude oil to extract LPG and other products from it. That is why the refining cost is added to the factors of the gas prices. The refining cost may vary according to the quality of crude oil used, the processing technology for refining, and the requirement of the gas.
Supply and Demand: As we have seen before, the consumption of gas increases many times during the winter season in Pakistan. It’s a supply and demand rule. The more we demand a thing, the more its cost increases.
Govt. Policies and Taxes: In Pakistan, taxes also play a critical role in the prices of oil products. Pakistan has been a victim of political and economic crises. Therefore, the government has to introduce new taxes and policies, especially for imported items, to stabilize the country every year.
Distribution Cost: When the gas is extracted from the oil, it is stored in the local gas stations through pipelines. It is further processed here and finally distributed to the consumers. The cost of running a gas station may vary according to the strategies of distribution companies.
Regional Price Variations
If you face slight price variations in different regions, especially in distant areas of Pakistan, Don’t worry; it is a common practice, and we’ve explained why we might encounter such little variations in LPG rates in Pakistan. Here are some reasons:
International Prices: Global fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices directly impact the cost of LPG imports, which causes fluctuating prices in Pakistan.
Supply and Demand: Variations in domestic production levels and consumption patterns affect local availability and pricing. Seasonal changes in demand, particularly during winter months for heating purposes, can lead to higher prices.
Transportation Costs: Getting LPG from the factory to your local shop involves transportation costs. The further the LPG travels, the more cost is added to its final price. This means LPG becomes more expensive in areas far from extraction plants.
Dealer Margins: If the LPG goes to far areas, it will pass through many dealers. Every dealer will keep its margin, resulting in a high price of LPG for the final consumer in distant regions.
Government Policies: Regulatory frameworks, including taxes, subsidies, and import tariffs, play a pivotal role in determining the final retail price of LPG. Changes in government policies can influence market stability and consumer affordability in a specific region.
Urban areas like Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Peshawar, Quetta, and Sialkot can have lower LPG Prices due to better Infrastructure Compared to distant and less-developed areas of Pakistan.

Precautions To Use LPG
Using LPG safely is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure efficient usage. Here are necessary precautions to follow when using LPG at homes or businesses:
Ventilation: Always ensure proper ventilation when using LPG indoors to prevent the build-up of gas. Use LPG appliances in well-ventilated areas or open windows to allow fresh air circulation.
Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect LPG connections and cylinders for leaks using a soapy water solution. Bubbles indicate leaks; if found, immediately turn off the supply and seek professional help.
Avoid Flames: Never use LPG appliances near open flames or sparks. Ensure appliances are switched off when not in use, and avoid smoking near LPG equipment.
Cylinder Placement: Use only stainless steel cylinders to store LPG and keep them upright on a stable surface, preferably outdoors. Never place cylinders near heat sources or direct sunlight.
Avoid Overfilling: Do not overfill LPG cylinders beyond their recommended capacity. Always follow guidelines provided by the supplier or manufacturer.
In an Emergency: Have a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit readily available near LPG appliances. Know emergency contact numbers for fire services and medical assistance.
Regular Maintenance: Make a routine to check cylinders and LPG appliances regularly. This ensures they are in good working condition and reduces the risk of failures.
Child Safety: Keep children away from gas appliances and cylinders. Teach children about the dangers of gas and the importance of staying away from them.
Following these precautions can significantly decrease the failure risk when using LPG, providing a secure environment for households and businesses alike.

Factors influencing LPG prices include global crude oil costs, refining expenses, supply-demand dynamics, government policies, distribution logistics, and regional variations.

The FON Gas 11.8kg LPG cylinder is being sold in I-14/3, Islamabad at the rate of Rs.3500 plus Rs.100 as delivery charges. Despite the cylinders are delivered in the sealed form but they are yielding a very low pressure and run. I am quite suspected about the quantity and quality of LPG being supplied which needs to be checked/monitored accordingly.
