The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has officially revised downward the prices of re-gasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) for the month of July 2025, offering some relief to industrial and commercial gas consumers.
According to OGRA’s notification released on Tuesday, the price cuts will apply to both Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), affecting both the transmission and distribution price segments.
New RLNG Prices – July 2025
For SNGPL:
-
Transmission Price:
↓ From $11.0154 to $10.8338 per mmBtu
(Decrease: $0.1816 or 1.65%) -
Distribution Price:
↓ From $11.7816 to $11.5787 per mmBtu
(Decrease: $0.2029 or 1.72%)
For SSGC:
-
Transmission Price:
↓ From $9.7284 to $9.4713 per mmBtu
(Decrease: $0.2571 or 2.64%) -
Distribution Price:
↓ From $10.8650 to $10.5737 per mmBtu
(Decrease: $0.2913 or 2.68%)
Reason for Price Reduction
The revision primarily reflects a slight decline in DES (Delivered Ex-Ship) prices, which directly impact the imported cost of LNG. OGRA adjusts RLNG rates monthly based on fluctuations in global LNG prices, shipping charges, port handling, and exchange rates.

What This Means for Consumers
The reduced RLNG prices are expected to slightly ease the cost pressures on:
-
Industrial units
-
Power producers
-
Commercial gas consumers
While household consumers are not directly billed in dollars per mmBtu, the change indirectly affects power tariffs, manufacturing input costs, and gas-based industries’ operational expenses.
Background:
RLNG plays a crucial role in Pakistan’s energy mix as the country heavily relies on imported LNG to bridge its gas shortfall. RLNG prices are reviewed monthly and differ for SNGPL and SSGC due to varying port access and pipeline logistics.
