FAISALABAD:
Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline is very crucial for economic growth of the country as the project will provide uninterrupted gas supply to the industry at an affordable cost, so the government should not succumb to any pressure, said Zahid Aslam, President of the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Saturday.
He appreciated the signing of the project and hoped that the issue of gas shortage will be resolved with the commencement of supplies as planned.
Discussing future shortages of gas, he said Pakistan will face a shortfall of 1,445 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) in 2013-14 against demand of 3,638 mmcfd, which will then expand to 1,872 mmcfd in 2014-15 against demand of 3,558 mmcfd and 2,092 mmcfd in 2015-16 against demand of 3,888 mmcfd.
