OGRA Reduces LPG Price

In October 2025, amid rising inflation, Pakistani households have received a small but welcome relief. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced a reduction in the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). This decision is particularly significant for millions of families who depend on LPG for cooking and heating. Over the past few years, constant fluctuations in LPG prices have badly affected middle- and low-income households. Although the decrease may seem small, it offers some breathing space in monthly household budgets.

Why Did OGRA Reduces LPG Price?

According to OGRA, LPG prices are directly linked with Saudi Aramco’s Contract Price (CP) and the US dollar exchange rate. Compared to last month, the international benchmark remained almost unchanged, but a slight dip in the dollar value created room for a small relief. As a result, the domestic price of LPG was reduced by Rs. 1.18 per kg.

How Will Consumers Benefit from This Reduction?

LPG is widely used in households across Pakistan, especially in areas where piped natural gas is not available. In rural communities, it is often the primary source of energy for cooking and heating. A Rs. 13.89 reduction in a domestic cylinder may not sound significant, but for families using multiple cylinders each month, it translates into helpful savings. With winter approaching and LPG usage expected to rise, this relief is timely for household budgets.

Could LPG Prices Drop Further?

Experts note that LPG prices in Pakistan depend mainly on two factors: global energy market trends and the strength of the Pakistani rupee. If the rupee appreciates further or international fuel prices decline, LPG may get cheaper in the coming months. However, if crude oil rises globally or the rupee weakens, this relief may be short-lived.

Useful Tips for LPG Users to Save More

Use cylinders carefully and avoid wastage to make them last longer.
Always cook with lids on pots to reduce fuel usage.
Explore alternative energy sources like solar or biogas where possible.

Conclusion

OGRA’s decision to cut LPG prices by 0.54% for October 2025 is a small but positive step for Pakistani households. While the reduction is modest, it still offers valuable relief in a time of high inflation. Going forward, the government and OGRA must continue to monitor global trends and ensure consumers get as much relief as possible.
