Every month, millions of Pakistani households that cook with LPG wait for one number: the price OGRA notifies for the coming month. For November 2026 that number has gone up again, just as winter pushes demand higher and piped gas pressure drops in many cities. This guide explains the official November rate, how OGRA builds the price, what a refill of your own cylinder should cost, why some shops are charging much more, and what the proposed change to LPG pricing could mean. If you are new to LPG, our guide on how to refill a composite LPG cylinder safely covers the refill process itself, and our winter gas shortage guide explains how to prepare your home for the cold months.
All official figures below come from OGRA's own LPG notified prices page and its notification dated 31 October 2026. Last updated: November 2026. Prices change monthly, so always confirm the current rate on OGRA's website.
What Is the Official LPG Price in Pakistan for November 2026?
OGRA's notification of 31 October 2026, issued under Section 6(2)(r) of the OGRA Ordinance 2002 and Rule 18(1) of the LPG (Production & Distribution) Rules 2001, fixes the following maximum consumer prices from 1 November 2026. The same ceiling applies to both locally produced and imported LPG.
| Measure | November 2026 maximum price |
|---|---|
| Per kg | Rs 294.08 |
| Per 11.8 kg domestic cylinder | Rs 3,470.09 |
| Per metric tonne | Rs 294,075.47 |
| Effective from | 1 November 2026 |
How Much Has LPG Gone Up Since October 2026?
Comparing OGRA's October and November notifications shows a clear month-on-month rise, driven almost entirely by a higher producer price.
| Item | October 2026 | November 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price per kg | Rs 279.34 | Rs 294.08 | +Rs 14.74 |
| 11.8 kg cylinder | Rs 3,296.23 | Rs 3,470.09 | +Rs 173.86 |
| Producer price (11.8 kg, before levy and GST) | Rs 2,325.32 | Rs 2,472.66 | +Rs 147.34 |
Marketing, distribution and transport margins did not change between the two months, so the whole increase comes from the cost of the gas itself and the GST charged on it.
How Does OGRA Calculate the LPG Price?
OGRA publishes the full price build-up in every notification. For November 2026, an 11.8 kg domestic cylinder is made up as follows:
| Component | Per metric tonne | Per 11.8 kg cylinder |
|---|---|---|
| Producer price (incl. excise duty, 40% propane / 60% butane) | Rs 209,547.50 | Rs 2,472.66 |
| Petroleum levy | Rs 4,669.00 | Rs 55.09 |
| 18% GST on producer price + levy | Rs 38,558.97 | Rs 455.00 |
| Maximum producer price with GST | Rs 252,775.47 | Rs 2,982.75 |
| Marketing, distribution and transport margins | Rs 35,000 | Rs 413.00 |
| 18% GST on margins | Rs 6,300 | Rs 74.34 |
| Maximum consumer price | Rs 294,075.47 | Rs 3,470.09 |
The Rs 35,000 per tonne margin is split into a marketing margin of Rs 17,000, a distribution margin of Rs 10,000 and transportation of Rs 8,000 per tonne. Under Clause 3.4.5 of the LPG Policy 2016, these figures are maximums: producers, marketing companies and distributors are allowed to sell below them, but not above.
How Much Should a Refill Cost for My Cylinder Size?
OGRA notifies the price per kg and per 11.8 kg cylinder. For other sizes you can work out the ceiling yourself by multiplying the gas weight by Rs 294.08. The figures below are our calculations at the notified November rate, rounded to the nearest rupee, for the gas only:
| Gas filled | Maximum gas cost at Rs 294.08/kg |
|---|---|
| 5 kg | About Rs 1,470 |
| 10 kg | About Rs 2,941 |
| 11.8 kg (official OGRA figure) | Rs 3,470.09 |
| 15 kg | About Rs 4,411 |
Because LPG is sold by weight, always ask the seller to weigh your cylinder before and after filling. With a translucent composite cylinder you can also check the gas level by eye, which makes short-filling much easier to spot. If you are deciding between sizes, see our comparison of 5 kg vs 10 kg composite cylinders.
Why Are Some Shops Charging More Than the OGRA Price?
The notified price is the legal maximum, but it is not always what customers pay. Profit by Pakistan Today reported that LPG is being sold for as much as Rs 600 per kg in some parts of the country, more than double the notified rate. Overcharging tends to be worst in winter and in areas without piped gas, where households have few alternatives.
To protect yourself:
- Know the current rate. Check OGRA's website at the start of each month.
- Insist on weighing. Pay for the kilograms actually filled, not a guess.
- Buy from licensed sellers. Authorised dealers are more likely to follow the notified price and safe filling practices. See our guide to OGRA-licensed LPG cylinder manufacturers.
- Avoid roadside decanting. Filling from one cylinder into another is unsafe and is often where overcharging happens.
- Report overcharging. OGRA lists its contact and complaint channels on its official website.
Is OGRA Ending Monthly LPG Price Notifications?
Possibly. According to Energy Update, the federal government has decided to deregulate LPG pricing and has sent proposed guidelines to the Cabinet for final approval. Under the proposal:
- OGRA would stop issuing monthly price notifications for local and imported LPG.
- State-owned companies, including Pakistan State Oil, SSGC LPG, PARCO Pearl Gas and Pakistan LNG, would import LPG in bulk and announce a monthly base price based on the actual landed cost.
- That price would be linked to the Saudi Aramco Contract Price, plus import premiums, freight, insurance and taxes.
- A targeted subsidy fund would support low-income households.
- OGRA's role would shift towards health, safety and environmental enforcement across the LPG supply chain.
Until any new system is formally approved and announced, the OGRA notification for November 2026 remains the official maximum price. We will update this guide if the pricing system changes.
How Can Households Manage Higher LPG Costs This Winter?
- Choose the right cylinder size for how much you cook, so gas is not tied up unused.
- Fix leaks immediately. A slow leak wastes gas and is dangerous; our guide to gas cylinder warning signs explains what to look for.
- Use lids and the right burner size to cook faster and use less gas.
- Store the cylinder safely, upright, ventilated and away from heat.
- Watch your gas level so you refill on time instead of paying emergency prices when you run out.
