Pakistan’s Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) has approved a roughly 15% increase in the price of Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) for June, citing rising supply-chain costs and unfavorable spot-market purchases.
The regulator’s decision highlights the persistent financial strain on the country’s energy sector, which remains heavily dependent on imported LNG to meet domestic demand.
This RLNG adjustment comes shortly after a second consecutive increase in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices, which rose by $16.
The price hike reflects the inherent expense of sourcing gas from the global spot market, where prices have remained volatile.
According to Dawn Business, these cost additions are being passed directly to end-users, exacerbating inflationary pressures in a market already grappling with elevated energy bills.
The move marks another step in Ogra’s ongoing effort to align domestic tariffs with international procurement costs, a process that has repeatedly drawn criticism from industrial and consumer groups.
This RLNG adjustment comes shortly after a second consecutive increase in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices, which rose by $16.42 to $182.81 per 100-pound cylinder earlier in the month.
