Litro Gas Lanka Limited will not revise the price of its liquefied petroleum gas cylinders for August 2026, the company announced, leaving household cooking gas costs unchanged for a further month.
The existing prices remain in force throughout August:
- 12.5 kg domestic cylinder — Rs. 4,465
- 5 kg cylinder — Rs. 1,792
- 2.3 kg cylinder — Rs. 835
Litro said the decision was taken to provide relief to consumers despite rising gas prices on the global market and challenging conditions prevailing in exchange rates.
The company is the dominant supplier of domestic LPG in Sri Lanka, and its monthly pricing decision is closely watched as a cost-of-living indicator. By holding the cylinder price flat while citing adverse movement in both world LPG costs and the rupee, Litro is absorbing the difference rather than passing it on to households this month.
