Following in the footsteps of Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has submitted a request to hike gas prices, seeking a substantial increase of 147%.

SNGPL’s proposal, presented to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), aims to implement the price hike by July 1, with a requested increase of Rs2646.18 per Metric Million British Thermal Unit (MMBtu). The company advocates for fixing the new average gas price at Rs4446.89.

Citing a revenue shortfall of Rs189.18 billion, SNGPL underscores the necessity for the price adjustment to address financial constraints.
