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.
