OGRA raises RLNG prices for SNGPL, SSGCL

ISLAMABAD:

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has raised the prices of Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) for consumers of both Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL), effective from October 1, 2025.

The regulator increased RLNG prices in line with a marginal rise in global LNG import costs. The revised rates show an increase of around 1.8% to 2% compared to the previous month. The revision in prices is primarily due to a slight uptick in the Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) price – the import cost component of LNG cargoes delivered to Pakistan.

For October 2025, the RLNG transmission price for SNGPL has been set at $11.4381 per mmBtu, while the distribution price stands at $12.2300/MMBtu. In comparison, SNGPL's September 2025 transmission and distribution rates were $11.2365 and $12.0127 per MMBtu, reflecting an increase of $0.2016 and $0.2173, or approximately 1.79% and 1.81%, respectively.

Similarly, for SSGCL, the new RLNG transmission price has been fixed at $10.0585/MMBtu, while the distribution price has been set at $11.2304/MMBtu.

This represents an increase of $0.1965 and $0.2198, or 1.99% and 2.00%, respectively.
