The Muscat Gas Company has confirmed that there has been no increase in the retail prices of LPG cylinders for the end-consumer, and that all applicable rates remain as per the prices approved by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MOCIIP) and other government entities.
The company in its statement added, "The letter, which has been recently circulating on social media, is an internal memo addressed to one of the distribution stations and pertains to internal commercial arrangements between the company and its subsidiaries. It does not, in any way, represent an increase in the price applied to the end-consumer."
Muscat Gas affirmed its commitment to the approved official prices and confirmed that any increase in retail prices for the end consumer outside of the approved official prices is a violation of applicable regulations, the statement said.
Any entity or individual exploiting this internal memo to justify price increases or mislead consumers will be referred to the competent authorities to take the necessary legal and regulatory measures, it said.
The company urged everyone to be accurate, not to circulate or interpret internal memos out of context, and to obtain information from the company's official channels.
