The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced a marginal upward revision in Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) prices for October 2025, reflecting a slight increase in Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) rates in the international market.
According to the regulator, the revised prices — effective October 1, 2025 — have been determined under the federal government’s policy guidelines for both Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL).
Revised RLNG Prices
For SNGPL, the RLNG transmission price has been set at US$11.4381 per MMBtu, while the distribution price stands at US$12.2300 per MMBtu, showing increases of 1.79% and 1.81%, respectively, compared to September 2025.
For SSGCL, the transmission price has been revised to US$10.0585 per MMBtu and the distribution price to US$11.2304 per MMBtu, up by 1.99% and 2.00%, respectively.
OGRA attributed the adjustment to slightly higher DES import costs, which increased the overall RLNG pricing for the month.
Impact on Industrial and Power Consumers
The revised RLNG rates are expected to affect power generation companies, industrial users, and other large gas consumers dependent on imported RLNG for fuel supply.
An OGRA spokesperson confirmed that the official price notification for October 2025 has been uploaded to the regulator’s website — www.ogra.org.pk — for public access.
Balancing Energy Costs and Supply
The adjustment comes as Pakistan continues to navigate fluctuating global energy prices while working to maintain domestic affordability and ensure uninterrupted energy supply for industrial and commercial consumers.
Industry analysts noted that while the increase is modest, it reflects the broader volatility of global LNG markets, which remain influenced by supply chain disruptions, seasonal demand, and currency fluctuations.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) serves as Pakistan’s central energy regulator, responsible for overseeing the midstream and downstream petroleum sector. The authority aims to foster a safe, competitive, and transparent energy market by coordinating with stakeholders and promoting sustainable energy practices.
