The government has ordered a nationwide crackdown to ensure the availability of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at officially notified prices, directing regulators and enforcement agencies to take strict action against violations.
Acting on the prime minister’s directive, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has issued notices to all LPG marketing companies, making it mandatory for them to provide invoices for every delivery vehicle and clearly mention prices on gate passes.
Officials warned that companies failing to declare prices on gate passes could face cancellation of licences, as authorities step up efforts to curb overcharging and improve transparency in the supply chain.
In coordination with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), OGRA has dispatched enforcement teams across the country to monitor compliance with the notified LPG rates for April 2026.
These joint teams have been granted sweeping enforcement powers, including the authority to impose fines ranging from Rs1 million to Rs10 million and to seal plants found violating government directives.
Authorities said the move aims to ensure LPG availability to consumers at government-fixed prices amid persistent complaints of overpricing in several parts of the country.
The government has authorized OGRA and FIA teams to take all necessary measures to enforce the official pricing mechanism, signalling a tougher stance against market manipulation and illegal profiteering in the LPG sector.
520 and ogra still failing, sounds like they are involved
OGRA is solely responsible to ensure govt. Rates, but eventually they are failed, and every shop is sepling exactly at double rate, OGRA failed to provide supply mechanism to every citizen. The Licensed companies are violating the OGRA rate by charging Rs.800 per small 11.8kg cylinder as delivery charges. While OGRA has already included the delivery charges in overall rate.
Who cares? Who listens to the government? Who will implement government’s directives? Even in ordinary times, gas cylinders have been sold at prices higher than the normal. In such situations, everybody is trying to fill their pockets. The government and the nation are together celebrating country’s diplomatic success, while the match has not even started yet.
500 to 550 per kg, every where with no fear no confusion. Written on the board, no problem.
