LAHORE: The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has requested a large increase in the average price of gas.
The SNGPL has requested the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) to increase the average price of gas by 157.50 per cent.
The SNGPL’s plea for gas price hike will have a public hearing in Lahore on 1st December.
It may be mentioned here that the request for an increase in the price of gas has been made at a time when consumers across the country are already facing a shortage of gas.
The gas crisis in the country has intensified as the gas loadshedding is being carried out from Karachi to Peshawar.
