The decision said that in order to supply gas to domestic and commercial consumers, especially consumers in Balochistan who are already facing winter season, gas supply to all CNG stations in Sindh and Balochistan is being suspended. ۔
It may be recalled that earlier the supply of gas to all captive power plants of non-export industries was stopped three days ago due to excess demand in winter till further orders. However, all general industries, zero rated export industries including its Gas supply to Captive Power Plants and Fertilizer Sector will continue. Gas generated from these arrangements will be supplied to domestic consumers so that they can meet their growing gas needs in the context of winter season.

Sui Southern Gas Company expects from the CNG sector in this regard that it will continue to receive support from the sector for uninterrupted supply of gas to domestic consumers.
