We have got some not-so-great news for you all. Brace yourselves because the LPG price in Pakistan has taken a hike this month again. The OGRA LPG rate today has increased by nearly Rs.39 per kg. And if that wasn’t enough, the government decided to give petrol & diesel prices a little boost too, up to Rs.18 (approx.). It’s a double whammy for common people, as the rising cost of living due to inflation will now be further impacted by this LPG price surge.
Now, you might be wondering, “What’s the big deal with LPG? How does it impact our daily lives?” Well, stick around, and we’ll spill the beans on that, along with a pinch of how it influences the prices of stuff we buy.
Let’s start with the OGRA LPG prices.

Uses of LPG and How it Can Impact Overall Prices?
Many of us don’t even know about the LPG full form. LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. It is crucial for many of us. Particularly in areas where natural gas is unavailable or subject to extreme load shedding, LPG becomes a crucial resource for cooking and heating. It is also widely used in restaurants, rickshaws, and various industries as a fuel source.
The increase in LPG prices can have many impacts on the common people, especially low-income families, affecting their essential expenses. Furthermore, it may directly contribute to price hikes in restaurants & small food stalls, rickshaw fares, and products associated with industries that rely on LPG as fuel.
Conclusion
Overall, it’s a tough pill to swallow, especially when considering the rise in fuel prices, electricity costs, and inflation. The government had to pass on the burden, thanks to the IMF deal, but it is us, the common people, who end up carrying the weight.
