The government has ordered a nationwide crackdown to ensure the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at officially notified prices, directing regulators and enforcement agencies to take strict action against violations.
Acting on the prime minister’s directives, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) has issued notices to LPG marketing companies, making it mandatory for them to provide invoices for every delivery vehicle and clearly mention prices on gate passes.
Officials warned that companies failing to declare prices on gate passes could face cancellation of their licences as part of efforts to curb overcharging and improve transparency in the supply chain.
In coordination with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Ogra has deployed enforcement teams across the country to monitor compliance with the notified LPG rates for April 2026.
The joint teams have been authorised to impose fines ranging between Rs1 million and Rs10 million and to seal plants found violating government directives.
Officials said the move was aimed at ensuring the availability of LPG to consumers at government-fixed prices amid persistent complaints of overpricing in several parts of the country.
The government has authorised Ogra and FIA teams to take all necessary measures to enforce the official pricing mechanism, signalling a stricter stance against market manipulation and profiteering in the LPG sector.
