OGRA raises RLNG prices by 2% for October 2025

Modest increase attributed to elevated overall RLNG import cost

 

ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced a minor upward revision in Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) prices for October 2025, following a slight increase in the Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) prices in global markets.

According to OGRA, the revised RLNG prices—effective October 1, 2025—have been determined in line with the federal government’s policy guidelines for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL).

For SNGPL, the RLNG price for transmission has been set at US$11.4381 per MMBtu, and for distribution at US$12.2300 per MMBtu, reflecting an increase of 1.79% and 1.81%, respectively, compared to September 2025.

For SSGCL, the RLNG transmission price has been determined at US$10.0585 per MMBtu, and the distribution price at US$11.2304 per MMBtu, showing a rise of 1.99% and 2.00%, respectively.

The regulator attributed the modest increase to higher DES prices, which slightly elevated the overall RLNG import cost. The revised rates are expected to impact power generation companies, industrial consumers, and other large gas users who rely on imported RLNG for fuel supply.

OGRA spokesman said that the official price notification for October 2025 is available on OGRA website (www.ogra.org.pk) for public access.

The RLNG price adjustment comes as Pakistan continues to balance rising global energy costs with domestic affordability, amid efforts to ensure a steady energy supply for industrial and commercial consumers.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority is Pakistan’s central regulatory body overseeing the midstream and downstream petroleum sector. It works to promote a safe, competitive, and sustainable oil and gas industry through coordination with stakeholders, innovation, and transparent regulation.
