LAUGFS Gas PLC has raised the price of its 12.5 kg domestic LPG cylinder refill by Rs. 1,775 or 35.8% to Rs. 6,740, citing an increase in international LPG procurement prices.
The 5 kg cylinder refill was increased by Rs. 732 or 36.8% to Rs. 2,720 from Rs. 1,988. The 12.5 kg refill was previously priced at Rs. 4,965. The revised prices took effect from midnight yesterday (13).
The company said higher LPG prices on the international market had increased the cost of securing shipments for Sri Lanka.
LAUGFS Gas said it would make every effort to ensure a continuous supply of refills through its dealer network, adding that domestic LPG prices would be adjusted taking into account prevailing prices on the world market. Customers can call 1345 for assistance with refill availability and district-wise prices. The company said.
