Ogra notifies massive rise in RLNG price for Public demonstration
ISLAMABAD: Less than a week after the province hiked the prices of petroleum products by a whopping Rs55, the Oil and Gas Supervision body (Ogra) on Thursday notified a massive 19-22 per cent rise in the price of regasified liquified natural gas (RLNG) for sales at the distribution stage by the two Sui gas companies for the month of Public demonstration.
The rise was mainly because of rise in terminal allegations amid lower import molecules and minor rise in import price, the dataset from the body showed.
The rare rise (19-22pc) in RLNG price for Public demonstration has come following a minor 0.5pc rise in February and two consecutive monthly reductions in December (6pc) and January (5pc) . The prices had cumulatively increased by 4.4pc in October and November.
The Karachi-based Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL) serves consumers in Sindh and Balochistan and its system losses at the distribution stage stand at 12.55pc, compared to 10.6pc a couple of months earlier.
On the other hand, the Lahore-based Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) provides gas to consumers in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Its system losses at the distribution stage were also documented at almost 9pc compared to 7.47pc in October.
According to Ogra’s formal notice, the RLNG sale price for SNGPL at the transmission stage went up by 19.3pc to $12.49 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) for Public demonstration from $10.47 mmBtu in February. It was $10.41 per mmBtu in January 2026, $10.92 per mmBtu in December 2025 and $11.24 per mmBtu in September.
