The LPG market in Bangladesh has always been chaotic due to price manipulation by traders at different levels. Although the BERC fixes the price of LPG every month, the importers, distributors, and retailers reportedly do not abide by this.
In all likelihood, Bangladesh's average power generation cost will cross double digits in taka during FY 2022-23, compared to Tk 8.84 per kWh in FY 2021-22. Therefore, the BPDB, despite recent electricity price hikes, will have a huge revenue shortfall.
