- RLNG transmission value will increase by 2.36%.
- Notification says distribution charge jumped by 2.38%.
The Oil and Fuel Regulatory Authority (Ogra) has raised the costs of re-gasified liquefied pure fuel (RLNG) by as much as 2.63% for September 2025, attributing the adjustment to larger terminal fees, The Information reported on Friday.

The federal government has lately lifted a ban on new home fuel connections, which can now be equipped with this imported fuel as an alternative of native fuel. Their payments will even fluctuate with month-to-month RLNG value changes.
As per the OGRA notification, for SNGPL’s community, the RLNG transmission value has been raised by 2.36% to $11.2365 per million British thermal models (MMBtu), whereas the distribution charge climbed 2.38% to $12.0127 per MMBtu in contrast with August. On SSGCL’s system, each transmission and distribution costs rose 2.63% to $9.8619 and $11.0105 per MMBtu, respectively.

The regulator added that the value adjustment was made below authorities coverage pointers, reflecting international LNG market actions, alternate charge traits, and the price of native re-gasification and supply infrastructure.RLNG performs a important position in Pakistan’s power combine, bridging the hole between demand and provide as indigenous fuel reserves shrink.
