LAUGFS Gas consumers will have to pay more for their next cylinder refill, with prices increasing from November 13.
The price of a 12.5kg domestic cylinder has increased from Rs. 4,965 to Rs. 6,740. This is an increase of Rs. 1,775.
Meanwhile, the 5kg cylinder price has gone up by Rs. 732, from Rs. 1,988 to Rs. 2,720.
The latest increase comes as the company works to maintain supplies following the arrival of a vessel carrying more than 3,000 metric tonnes of LPG.
Higher Prices Linked to International LPG Costs
LAUGFS Gas PLC has attributed the price increase to higher international LPG procurement costs.
The company said rising global market prices have increased the cost of securing LPG shipments for the local market.
It also stated that it will adjust domestic LPG prices in line with international market prices. Therefore, consumers may see further price changes depending on global costs.
What Consumers Should Know About Supply?
The company recently said it would resume domestic and commercial cylinder distribution in phases following the arrival of the LPG shipment.
However, the arrival of a shipment does not mean every dealer will have refills available immediately. Distribution will depend on the supply reaching dealers across different areas.
LAUGFS Gas has said it will make every effort to maintain a continuous supply through its dealer network.
Consumers can contact the company’s hotline on 1345 to check refill availability and district-wise prices before visiting a dealer.
For households and businesses that depend on LAUGFS Gas, the immediate concern is now both the higher refill cost and the availability of cylinders in their area.
