Why is there such a massive gap between the official OGRA LPG rates and actual market prices? Where is the administration?

Just wondering what is going on with LPG prices right now. The official OGRA notified rate is supposed to be around 255 to 300 rupees per kg, but practically everywhere in the open market, it is going for 450 to 550 rupees.

Genuinely curious how the LPG mafia and sellers are getting away with charging almost double. Retailers claim the marketing companies are the ones overcharging them, but where are the price control authorities or local magistrates in all this? Is anyone actually enforcing these official rates, or do they only exist on paper?

Would love to hear if others are facing this in their cities and if you've seen any actual crackdown on this.
