Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has raised wholesale gas prices by 22.78 per cent to Tk 11.91 per unit.
The decision will boost gas prices across the board, except for CNG users for vehicles, reports bdnews24.com.
That means household users will pay Tk 1,080, compared to Tk 975, per double-burner stove, according to a notice published by the BERC on its website on Sunday.
The new rate will be effective from June and remain in force until further notice.
