Dhaka, Jan. 16 -- Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) Chairman Jalal Ahmed has expressed optimism that increased imports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) would help avert any supply crisis of the fuel during the upcoming month of Ramadan.

He has called for urgent cooperation among all stakeholders, including LPG importers, to stabilise supply ahead of the holy month.

"Importing 150,000 tonnes of LPG in January and ensuring delivery of the cargo in February would help prevent a supply crisis during Ramadan," he said at a roundtable titled "Regulatory Challenges in the LPG Market" in the city on Thursday.

The LPG Operators Association of Bangladesh (LOAB) and Energy & Power magazine jointly organised the discussion.
