Overview
- Average prescribed tariffs rise 4.89% for SNGPL and 7.14% for SSGCL, taking rates to Rs1,852.80 and Rs1,777.02 per MMBtu respectively.
- OGRA cites adjustments for prior-year shortfalls—Rs13,565 million for SNGPL and Rs47,315 million for SSGCL—implemented under a federal cabinet decision.
- The regulator’s earlier communication of a provisional reduction created confusion, later clarified with the approved increase for FY2025-26.
- Category‑wise consumer sale prices await federal government advice, so existing category rates remain in effect until formal notification.
- SNGPL and SSGCL had sought far larger hikes based on cost pressures, while the petroleum minister directed utilities to ensure uninterrupted winter supply.
