Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has transferred the authority to set LPG cylinder prices from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) to Pakistan State Oil (PSO) and SSGPL.
Acting on the prime minister’s directive, Federal Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik granted the two companies full authority to set LPG prices nationwide.
Orders have been placed for LPG imports, and the vessels carrying the shipments are expected to arrive in Pakistan next week. LPG prices are expected to fall sharply across the country as a result.
