ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) on Friday notified around half a per cent increase in the price of Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) for sales at the distribution stage by the two Sui gas companies for the current month, mainly because of an increase in terminal charges despite a reduction in import price.
The slight increase (0.53-0.59pc) in RLNG prices for February has followed two consecutive monthly reductions of about 11pc in December (6pc) and January (5pc). The prices increased by 4.4pc cumulatively in October and November.
Karachi-based Sui Southern Gas Company Ltd (SSGCL) serves consumers in Sindh and Balochistan, and its system losses at the distribution stage stand at 12.55pc when compared to 10.6pc a couple of months earlier. On the other hand, Lahore-based SNGPL provides gas to consumers in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and its system losses at the distribution stage were also reported at almost 9pc against 7.47pc in October.
According to the notification, the RLNG’s sale price for SNGPL at the transmission stage went up by 0.53 per cent to 10.47 per million British thermal unit (mmBtu) in February from $10.41 million mmBtu in January 2026, $10.92 per mmmBtu in December 2025 and $11.24 per unit in September.
