The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has taken steps to summon officials of LAUGFS Gas to seek clarification over the recent increase in domestic gas prices.

Accordingly, the officials have been instructed to appear before the Authority at 10.00 a.m. tomorrow (16) to provide explanations regarding the price revision, the CAA said.

LAUGFS Gas increased its domestic gas prices with effect from midnight on November 13, 2026.

Accordingly, the price of a 12.5kg domestic gas cylinder, which previously stood at Rs. 4,965, was increased by Rs. 1,775 to Rs. 6,740.

Meanwhile, the price of a 5kg domestic gas cylinder was increased by Rs. 732, from Rs. 1,988 to Rs. 2,720.

The company stated that the price revision was necessitated by increased procurement costs in the local market, citing prevailing international market prices, shipping charges and insurance costs.
