Uses of LPG and How Does It Impact Overall Prices?
Most of us do not know about the complete form of LPG. LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. This is important for most of us. In particular, in areas where natural gas is not available or the load is heavy, LPG becomes an important source for cooking and heating. It is also widely used as a fuel source in restaurants, rickshaws, and various industries.
The increase in LPG prices can affect the basic costs of the general public, especially low-income families. It can also directly contribute to the increase in the price of restaurants and small food shops, the cost of small transportation, and related products that rely on LPG as fuel.
Conclusion (LPG Price in Pakistan)
Overall, these are news stories that will not have a major impact on people’s daily lives. But if we compare today’s LPG rate (Rs 251.30) with its June 2024 rate (Rs 234.60), the difference of + Rs. 16.71 can hurt people. On the other hand, the prices of petrol and diesel have come down, which is why many people are confused as to why the government has increased the price of LPG instead of reducing it. Also, hopefully gas will be available at the above rate as the market rate is generally higher than the government rate. Moreover, the worsening problem in the Middle East may escalate the price of LPG anytime in the coming days.
