In Bangladesh, millions of households depend on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) every day. And since the price goes up each month, people ask regularly if there will be lower prices for LPG next month. An up-to-date analysis of pricing on LPG for 2026 can be found here.
Latest LPG Price in Bangladesh (Current Month Update)
The current price of a 12kg LPG cylinder is estimated at BDT 1,450 (the current month’s rate) according to the most recent BERC LPG price announcement.
Compared to the previous month, when the rate was approximately BDT 1,498, LP Gas prices are slightly down; the adjustments were made officially at the start of this month based on regular reviews.
The latest decrease in LPG gas prices has provided some much-needed assistance to households and small businesses alike. The reductions are primarily driven by changes in the international marketplace.
Why Did LPG Price Reduce This Month?
Several factors, both local and global, may have an impact on the price of LPG in Bangladesh in 2026, including:
1. Saudi CP Benchmark
The Saudi Contract Price of LPG is regarded as the most important international benchmark for Bangladesh. When the Saudi Contract Price decreases, retail prices for LPG in Bangladesh usually also decrease.
2. Global LPG Market Impact
The worldwide LPG market is one of the most important global markets. Changes in supply from the Middle East and the United States, as well as changing patterns of acquiring export LPG shipments, will directly impact import costs.
3. US Dollar Exchange Rate
The Bangladeshi Taka to U.S. dollar exchange rate can help mitigate price pressure on LPG imported into Bangladesh when either the Bangladeshi Taka remains stable or appreciates against the U.S. dollar.
4. Import & Shipping Costs
The final costs to retail consumers of LPG are affected by shipping costs, including all those associated with transporting, unloading and storing import LPG.
Will LPG Price Reduce Again Next Month?
This is a big issue for consumers to ask about.
Looking at the current LPG price forecasting in Bangladesh, there is moderate market stability as per market signals. If the Saudi CP continues to ease and crude oil stays constant, then LPG may be stable next month or could decrease slightly.
On the other hand, if crude prices increase due to geopolitical tensions or any cuts in production levels in the rest of the world, then LPG prices may go back up again. It is also anticipated that any price adjustments will continue to be slow changes, rather than large price drops within the next 2 to 3 years, as suggested by experts.
