Latest Developments in LPG Cylinder Market
The article explains that the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in Oman has remained fixed at 1.9 Omani riyals per 22-kilogram cylinder since 1994, despite an approximate 50% increase in costs, taxes, and fees. To date, there has been no official price increase. The sector companies, including Muscat Gases, have confirmed that they have not taken any measures to raise the price, and any unofficial increase risks legal accountability through the Consumer Protection Authority. However, the National Gas Company has halted discounts previously offered to distributors since January 2026. This step may lead to increased costs for distributors, with this change being implemented in key regions starting next September. The article emphasizes that any attempt to raise prices outside the official framework is considered a violation, and consumers can file complaints with the relevant authorities if such violations occur.
