At a time when the people of the country are finding it hard to make ends meet due to skyrocketing inflation, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) is seeking to drop a new bomb as it recommended an increase of up to 74% in the natural gas price from July 1.
According to the recommendation, the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd (SNGPL) would be allowed to increase gas prices by up to 74.42% and the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) by 67.75%.
Ogra’s decision will be implemented after the approval of the federal government. If the federal government does not approve it within 40 days, the decision will be implemented automatically.
