The government has launched a nationwide crackdown to ensure liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is available at officially set prices, directing regulators and enforcement agencies to act firmly against violations.
Following the prime minister’s instructions, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has issued notices to all LPG marketing companies, making it compulsory to provide invoices for every delivery and clearly state prices on gate passes.
Officials warned that failure to display prices on gate passes could result in licence cancellation, as authorities intensify efforts to prevent overcharging and improve transparency in the supply chain.
In collaboration with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), OGRA has deployed enforcement teams across the country to monitor compliance with LPG prices fixed for April 2026.
These teams have been granted broad powers, including imposing fines between Rs1 million and Rs10 million and sealing facilities that violate government orders.
Authorities said the initiative is aimed at ensuring consumers receive LPG at government-approved rates, amid ongoing complaints of overpricing in various regions.
The government has empowered OGRA and FIA teams to take all necessary steps to enforce official pricing, signalling a stricter approach against market manipulation and illegal profiteering in the LPG sector.
