Mohammed Ali Haider, the convener of the Pakistan LPG Standing Committee, said that the price of LPG soared from 380 rupees per kilogram to a maximum of 600 rupees. The official price of LPG as set by the Pakistan Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority is 294 rupees per kilogram. Haider said in Karachi that 70% of Pakistan's LPG is imported, 80% of which is purchased from neighboring Iran to the west. He said that oil prices rose after the Pak-Iran border was closed; even if the border was reopened recently, transportation efficiency is still sluggish. Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Sajad Haider Khan has yet to respond to a request for comment on Pakistan's closure of the Iranian border.
