Gas Prices Unchanged for SNGPL and SSGCL

Gas prices for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL) have been kept unchanged as of April 12, 2026. The utility providers are expected to collaborate with the regulator on the calculation of profits.

According to reporting from Business Recorder, the decision to maintain current pricing levels comes as the companies work with the regulator to determine profit calculations. This development follows previous regulatory activity where the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) had announced revised gas prices for the fiscal year 2025-26, effective from July 1, 2025.

Domestic Demand Planning and Rationalization

In addition to the pricing status, the National Committee for Management of Gas (NCMC) has issued specific directives to SNGPL regarding its operational strategies. The NCMC has ordered SNGPL to overhaul its planning for domestic demand.

Under these directives, the utility provider is now required to rationalize consumption. This move is intended to bring a more structured approach to how domestic gas demand is planned and managed across its network.

Regulatory Context and Revenue Requirements

The current pricing environment is situated within a broader framework of revenue requirements. The Federal Government had previously provided advice regarding the estimated revenue requirements for SNGPL and SSGCL for the 2025-26 fiscal year in response to determinations made by OGRA.

The collaboration between the gas companies and the regulator on profit calculations is a key component of the ongoing financial oversight of the sector. This process ensures that the revenue requirements and the resulting profit margins are aligned with regulatory standards and government directives.
