LAUGFS Gas PLC has announced a significant increase in domestic LP gas prices, effective from midnight on Friday (13).
According to the company, the price of a 12.5 kg domestic gas cylinder will increase by Rs. 1,775, from Rs. 4,965 to Rs. 6,740.
The price of a 5 kg cylinder will increase by Rs. 732, from Rs. 1,988 to Rs. 2,720.
LAUGFS Gas said the price revision was due to rising liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices in the international market, which have increased the cost of importing gas into Sri Lanka.
The company said it remains committed to maintaining an uninterrupted gas supply for domestic and commercial consumers.
It added that future price revisions would be based on international LPG market prices.
Customers can contact the company’s hotline, 1345, for information on gas availability and district-wise prices. (Newswire)
