According to the company’s spokesperson, gas supply to CNG, cement, and non-export general industry sectors will remain suspended from Tuesday night (14 September) 0000 onwards.

According to the company's Spokesperson, gas supply to CNG, cement and Non-export general industry sectors will remain suspended from 14 September to onwards.

The Spokesperson said that the decision has been taken due to inevitable circumstances and the supply will be restored within 48 hrs.

Yesterday, the SSGCL issued an official notification, according to which CNG stations and Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) were directed to be closed for four days.

The decision to suspend gas supply was taken due to dry-docking of Engro LNG terminal as there was shortage of gas in the system.

Dry-docking has been started from today (September 14) and will be done by 17th, under the revised program at Engro Terminal during FSRU conversion.

The supplies to CNG stations will be restored from September 18 (Saturday) at 8am.

Moreover, gas supplies to K-Electric, Sindh Nooriabad Power Company and FFBQL would also be partially reduced.

However, domestic and commercial customers will face no interruption in gas supplies.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the SSGC said that the company was facing difficulties in meeting the needs of domestic and commercial customers due to low-pressure gas.
