LPG and RLNG Crisis Deepens Across Pakistan Amid Falling Imports

KARACHI: The crisis surrounding liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and re-gasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) has intensified across Pakistan, with a notable decline in import volumes reported in October compared to September.

In October, Port Qasim received 24,019 tons of LPG, but the overall import figures have decreased significantly. This reduction raises concerns about the country’s energy supply, particularly as demand remains high during the colder months.

The implications of this crisis are far-reaching, affecting not only household energy costs but also industrial operations that rely on these fuels. Citizens are bracing for potential shortages and price hikes, which could exacerbate the already challenging economic conditions.

Authorities are expected to convene in the coming days to address the situation, with discussions likely focusing on strategies to stabilize imports and ensure a steady supply of LPG and RLNG to meet national demand.
