LAHORE: The Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) has stopped the supply of gas to all industries in Punjab for an indefinite period.
The provincial industrial sector had already been subject to five days per week gas suspension and the latest decision could be a last nail in the industry’s coffin.
SNGPL General Manager Retail and Sales Rehan Nawaz said the gas supply had been shut due to growing domestic demand. He said priority was to meet domestic needs and suspension would continue unless domestic demand was fulfilled. He said the SNGPL would restore supply to industries if it had extra gas in the system after catering to the domestic demand.
