Adjustment in ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations in April 2026
The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (March 25) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from April 1 to April 30, 2026, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts for dedicated LPG filling stations.
A department spokesman said that the adjustment on April 1, 2026, would reflect the movement of the LPG international price in March 2026. The adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations would range from $3.42 to $4.36 per litre, amounting to an increase of $0 to $0.01 per litre.
The spokesman said that the auto-LPG ceiling prices were adjusted according to a pricing formula specified in the contracts. The formula comprises two elements - the LPG international price and the LPG operating price. The LPG international price refers to the LPG international price of the preceding month. The LPG operating price is adjusted on February 1 and June 1 annually according to the average movement of the Composite Consumer Price Index and the Nominal Wage Index.
The auto-LPG ceiling prices for respective dedicated LPG filling stations in April 2026 are as follows:

Country Park Hiking and Planting Day 2026 to be held in April
The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) announced today (March 25) that the AFCD and Friends of the Country Parks will hold the Country Parks Hiking and Planting Day on April 19 and April 26 (Sundays) at Tai Lam Chung Country Trail, Tai Lam Country Park. The public is welcome to take part in the activities.
The public should enrol at the registration point on-site from 9am to 10.30am on the event day. Pre-registration is not required. The AFCD will provide seedlings and planting tools. Due to site constraints and limited availability of seedlings, all seedlings will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. If all seedlings are given out, participants are welcome to join the hiking activity.
An AFCD spokesman said, "The event aims to promote messages related to caring for nature and tree preservation via public engagement activities. AFCD staff and volunteers will share information on the seedlings and promote hiking etiquette to enhance participants' awareness of nature conservation."
The spokesman reminded the public that they should assess whether it is appropriate to take part in the activities according to their physical strength and hiking experience. The AFCD recommends that the public go hiking with their friends or family members and help conserve the countryside by practising proper hiking etiquette, including bringing along reusable water bottles and towels and following the principle "Take Your Litter Home".
Seedlings for the tree planting activities were raised in the Tai Tong Nursery of the AFCD in Yuen Long. The department has been planting native species in country parks to enhance the biodiversity and ecological value of country parks in recent years. About 220 000 tree seedlings were planted in country parks in 2025 by AFCD staff and various organisations.
Details of the activities and the latest information are available on the Nature in Touch website (www.natureintouch.gov.hk) or the Hong Kong Country Parks Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hongkongcountryparks). For enquiries about the Country Parks Hiking and Planting Day 2026, please call 1823 or email nature@afcd.gov.hk.
