The gas crisis got worse as the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited on Saturday announced the gas supply suspension to industries in Karachi.
As per the SSGC spokesperson, due to the shortage and low pressure, SSGC decided to suspend the gas supply for the next 48 hours to the industries, CNG stations, and captive power plants located in the metropolis.
The gas supply will be shut down for industries and captive power plants from December 23, 8 am till December 25, 8 am.
Earlier this week, the SSGC sought an increase in the prices of gas by Rs226.18 per metric million British thermal units (mmBtu).
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority will hear the SSGC’s plea seeking an additional increase of Rs226.18 per MMBtu in gas prices today.
