Iran-Israel War Triggers Massive LPG Price Surge in Pakistan: Up to Rs100 per Kg Increase

Rawalpindi, March 10, 2026 – Amid the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, Pakistan is grappling with a sharp rise in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices, with increases ranging from Rs70 to Rs100 per kilogram, exacerbating economic pressures on households and businesses.
Ali Haider, a leader from the LPG Marketing Association, announced that retail prices have jumped from Rs250 per kg to between Rs320 and Rs350 per kg. He attributed the hike to disrupted supplies stemming from the ongoing war, which has led to reduced imports and a upward trend in global energy costs.
The association has urged the Pakistani government to secure alternative LPG supplies from countries like Russia or Oman to stabilize the market and mitigate further shortages.
This development comes as the Iran-Israel war enters its intensified phase, impacting global energy markets and supply chains. Energy experts warn that prolonged conflict could lead to even higher prices, affecting millions reliant on LPG for cooking and heating. Government officials have yet to respond to the association’s recommendations.
