“Stakeholders are advised that the LPG prices for June 2026 calculated according to the Petroleum (Liquid Petroleum Gas Pricing) Regulations 90 of 2021 are as follows: US$ price/kg – 1.96 and ZWG price/kg – 52.60,” said ZERA.
The authority said all LPG operators are required to display the prescribed prices prominently at their retail outlets to promote transparency and improve consumer awareness.
“Operators are advised to display the prices at their retail outlets at a prominent place in clearly legible letters,” read the statement.
ZERA clarified that the announced prices represent the maximum retail prices and that operators are free to sell LPG at lower prices depending on their business advantages.
“Please note that it is permissible to sell LPG at prices below the prescribed prices depending on one’s trading advantages,” the authority said.
The monthly price review forms part of ZERA’s responsibility to regulate the country’s energy sector and ensure that pricing practices remain fair while protecting consumers.
The latest announcement comes as authorities continue monitoring developments within the petroleum sector and enforcing compliance with regulations governing the pricing and sale of fuel products.
ZERA also encouraged stakeholders and members of the public to verify fuel price announcements using its official communication channels.
“Stakeholders are advised that the petroleum price releases by ZERA can be verified on the official ZERA website, Facebook, or Twitter handle,” read the statement.
The authority said regular price reviews are aimed at maintaining order in the energy sector while providing consumers with accurate and reliable pricing information.
The latest LPG pricing structure will apply throughout June 2026 unless further adjustments are announced by the regulator.
