The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has mandated an increase in the prices of Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) for consumers served by both Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL), effective from October 1, 2025. This regulatory adjustment stems from a slight rise observed in the global costs associated with importing LNG. The revised rates reflect an overall increase of approximately 1.8% to 2% compared to the preceding month's figures. The primary driver for this price revision is the uptick in the Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) price, which constitutes the import cost for LNG cargoes delivered to Pakistan. Specifically, SNGPL's RLNG transmission price for October 2025 is set at $11.4381 per mmBtu, up by about 1.79% from September. Similarly, SSGCL's new transmission price is fixed at $10.0585/MMBtu, marking an increase of nearly 2.00% in its distribution rate.
