Abu Dhabi: Adnoc Distribution has announced a price reduction of Dh1 for refilling Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders of 25lb capacity at its service stations in the northern emirates — Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

Effective August 9, Adnoc Distribution will reduce the price to Dh27 per 25lb cylinder from the earlier marked retail price of Dh28.

“In line with the directives of our wise leadership, the reduced price announced by Adnoc Distribution underlines our commitment to customers of LPG cylinders in the northern emirates. The price reduction reflects the decline in the prices of oil and gas around the world,” said Khalid Hadi, Vice-President of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Adnoc Distribution.

He added, “The demand for LPG cylinders has surged in recent months. As part of our core priority to our customers, Adnoc Distribution is keen to make life more convenient for our customers by passing on the reduced global prices.”

Adnoc Distribution currently provides more than 3,000 subsidised 25lb gas cylinders daily at its service stations in Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

Holders of Rahal E-Gas cards in the northern emirates are entitled to purchase the subsidised gas cylinders. Rahal E-Gas is issued free of cost by the company at its offices in Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah or at select Adnoc service stations across the UAE.
